1 he Census Bureau is concerned
only in the collection and publi-
cation of statistical facts. The
spirit of every act of Congress
providing for the various decen-
nial censuses has been, and is,
that the information as to indi-
viduals, firms, and corporations
is to be given inviolable secrecy.
It is as much 'privileged infor-
mation' as that imparted by a
client to a lawyer, by a patient
to a physician, by a dying man
to a minister. It can not even
be imparted to another branch of
the Federal Government, no inat-
will ter how much the information
may be desired. No court ever
lias or ever will ignore this 'im-
munity' from personal or busines
involvement bestowed in return
for information required by the
United States Census inquiries.
To do otherwise would impair, if
not.wholly destroy, the scientific
efficiency of the census work.!
