to the Survey of Current
Foreword

T

1938 Supplement to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS brings together in revised form
data presented in the regular monthly issues of the SURVEY since publication of the 1936
Supplement. These data comprise more than 2,000 time series and are drawn from over 200
different Government and non-Government sources. The statistics are given by months for the
years 1934 through 1937, together with annual data beginning in 1913 where available. The
1932 and 1936 Supplements gave monthly data for the years 1923-33, and part of this material,
more particularly that shown in the 1936 Supplement, is comparable with the data contained in
this volume. Reference to monthly data for earlier years, as published in the 1932 and 1936
Supplements or in a special table in one of the monthly issues of the SURVEY, is given for each
series in the notes starting on page 167. The 1936 Supplement is still available at the office of
the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., but sales copies of the 1932 Supplement
are exhausted. The latter, however, is available in the various Government depository libraries
located throughout the country.

The notes in the back of this publication contain explanatory material for each series, and
references to the sources of the data, which greatly enhance the value of the statistics. Users
of the SURVEY should examine these notes carefully since a large proportion of the time series
presented are computed on the basis of sample data, and in some instances are not homogeneous
for the entire period covered by reason of the shifting character of the sample.
While a considerable expenditure of time and effort has gone into the preparation of this
Supplement, it is too much to hope that absolute accuracy can be achieved in dealing with
dynamic material covering such extensive fields. Consequently, it would be appreciated if
users of the series, or the compiling organizations, would call to the attention of the editor any
discrepancies or inconsistencies in the data which they may detect.
In addition to carrying forward currently the statistical series contained in this volume,
monthly issues of the SURVEY contain a review of economic trends, together with analyses of
pertinent subjects in the form of special articles. The June 1937 and June 1938 issues, for example, contained feature articles releasing the annual official estimates of national income in the
United States for the years 1936 and 1937. The Weekly Supplement to the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS contains both weekly and monthly statistics together with a series of charts based on
weekly and monthly data and a thumbnail sketch of business trends.
The cooperation of the various agencies supplying the basic information contained in the
SURVEY is gratefully acknowledged.
The 1938 Supplement was compiled under the general supervision of Assistant Director N.
H. Engle, in the Division of Economic Research, Lowell J. Chawner, in charge. Preparation of
the tables with the accompanying descriptive notes was under the direction of Walter F. Crowder,
Acting Editor, and under the immediate supervision of J. A. Van Swearingen.

Bureau oj Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
