Among messages of support re-
ceived by the World Trade Clut
of San Francisco in their cam
paign for world-wide adoption
of metric units of weights and
measure, a large number have
come from the foremost en
gineers, of U. S. America and
Britannia.
John Hays Hammond, great
mining engineer, wires World
World Trade Club from Wash-
ington. D. C.: “I endorse metric
system as the universal stand-
ard. I am convinced from an
extensive study of international
commerce that the adoption of
the metric system would great-
ly facilitate promotion of the
export trade of America."
Thomas Corwin Mendenhall,
of the U. S. Geodetic Survey,
who has the added distinction
of being one to induce President
Harrison to promulgate the
Board on Geographic Names,
said in a presidential address
before the Engineers’ Societies,
of meter-liter-gram : “These un-
its are bound to come into uni-
versal use in the near future.
The- prodigious advantages at-
tainable thru thir simplicity,
economy and uniformity asure
their world-wide use." a
