SEEKING COMMERCIAL EXPANSION

A San Francisco dispatch, published In

there Of two commissioners from the Phild-
delpbia Commercial Museum who are on
route to China to secure II possible, larger
and closer trade relations between the Uni
ted States and the Celestial Empire. These
commissioners viii meet a third member
Of the commission at Shanghai.
1t is generally agreed that II la. possible
TO increase our commerce with the East
by Just such moves as the one mentioned.
Both china and Japan are friendly with
US ana look upon us MS the most up-to-
date people commercially In the world.
Such Western customs and policies az
Japan has adopted have been modelled
largely after our manner Of doing things
aud China has looked with suspicion upon
the approaches OF all other peoples than
our own.
our position as a Pacific power gives us
advantages in distances and ocean freight
rutes. and the trade we now enjoy in the
East has been one OF steady development
for some years past With the Philippines
We already have a large commercial inter-
course and there ought to be no very
great difficulty in working up IN increased
trade on the mainland of Asia. In feet.
the outlook commercially for MS ought TO
be brighton In the East than In any otNcr
direction. The population to be supplied
IN Asia and the Eastern Islands is SIX
times our own population aud is lust be-
ginning 10 buy extensively Of America ard
European goods.
However we can not expect to obtain
that great trade IN the East without GO
