SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.—Hon.
William C. Redfield, Secretary of
Commerce of the United States Gov-
ernment, has declared himself in fav-
or of the adoption of the metric sys-
tem of weights and measures by the
United States. His study of world
conditions, as a manufacturer and
a Government official, has led him to
this conclusion.
Secretary Redfield declares that to

standards, because our customers de-
mand it. It is easy to make the
change, he says, and once adopted, the
metric system, because of its simplici-

“I think you will find that the view
I have expressed is daily more repre-
sentative of those who control the re-
sources and credit of U. S. America,”
declares Secretary Redfield. “I
would not cause needless expense to
