STATISTICAL INFORMATION.—The ‘Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek’ at the Hague, is the official Netherlands statistical service; Director-General of Statistics:—Dr. Ph. J. Idenburg.
The Bureau was founded in 1899. Prior to that year, statistical publications were compiled by the ‘Centrale Commissie voor de Statistiek,’ the ‘Vereniging voor Staathuishoudkunde en Statistiek’ and various government departments. These activities have gradually been taken over and co-ordinated by the Central Bureau which now compiles practically all government statistics.
