Cotton for Japan.

The statements made by the Hon.
D. p. Thompson relative TO the in
dustrial activity Of japan may we'll
furnish food for the meditation of
San Frauciscans. Mr. Thompson
has been in Japan some months, and
has used his opportunities to be-
come close observer Of that en-
pire's development iuto commercial
and manufacturing nation. The
only point made by Mr.. Thompson
seems to be the danger of japanese
competition. with our own manu-
features ia both textile and me-
chanical industries, of which cotton
goods is given as an example Of the
former, and the manufacture Of
bicycles of the latter. The enter
prise Of Japan in cheapening the
manufacture of commodities in many
lines that would compete with lis
has been the bugbear of modern
trade for some time. Japan will un-
doubtedly soon be an import ant
figure in manufacture and her right
to sell in the markets Of the world
cannot be questioned. 1t must be
met by corresponding energy and
activity on our part But the in
formation given contains another
idea whose Importance is not men
toned, but which should particular
ly interest the shippers of our port.
We are told that Japan is buying
cotton in the United States for her
factories and receiving it by way OF
London. That is to say, taking
New Orleans as shipping centre,
cotton is being transported more
than 1900 miles to japan via Lon
don and the Suez canal, instead Of
being sent via San Francisco, dis
tance Of only about 5000 miles, Some
one, of course, profits by this, but it
is neither San Francisco nor the
American merchant marine. If we
cannot carry our own products in
our own bottoms, we should at least
be able to secure their expectation
through our own port when the dis
lance is so largely in our favor.
Japan's cotton should pass through
San Francisco, and in addition the

Dividing The Convicts
