TO CAPTURE ORIENTAL TRADE

-
The project to establish an American
Chinese Chamber of Commerce at Shang-
hal. the principal mart of China, the
success OF which IS now practically as
sured, is the result OF recent investiga-
lions of the vast possibilities OF the
country as a rich market for American
goods. and is in with a
recommendation in the consular reports
of ex-Consul Edward B-dloa. formerly
United States consul to Annoy and For
mosa, China.
The establishment Of this Chamber OF
Commerce for the exhibition Of Ameri-
can wares under the auspices Of Ameri-
can enterprise is significant OF the ag-
gressive fight which American manu-
flcrurers are about TO inaugurate for
the control OF the oriental trade. 1t is
true that China Is a thousand years be-
hisd the times and that her civilization
HIS not been sufficiently advanced to
create a demani for the produets Of the
American u1ils. But there are signs OF
a great ~lxakening in the celestial en-
pire Chin. and the Oriental comprise

VI Is now being opened, where We

-he reason our business relations with
this vast emp re- nave been in such a
de~plorabls condition for many years is
because ne Mongolians have had but
little opportunity TO become acquainted
with American wares. Great Britain
has largely controlled the trade Of the
Orient. It IS a significant fact, how
ever. that wherever the Mongolians have
had an opportunity to test and use the
nroducts of American factories they
have been quick to eviace a marked
preference for them over British and
other inferior wares.
The British shrewdly take advantage
