Gress to meet at Washington at which

Instead of carload of goods, as

sale of five or six or more carloads

A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM.

The London Times has recently
published an article reviewing the
industrial and commercial develop
ment of the United States, from
the pen of correspondent who
has spent two years in America,
and has visited half the states of
the Union.
After paying high compliment
to the business energy and de-
votion of the American CONNER
cial and manufacturing guilds, the
writer concludes his remarks with
the following pointed conclusions:
ITO my mind nothing is clearer
than that whatever chances Amer
lean had at one time of getting,
slowly but surely, a paying foreign
trade in manufactured products,
they have been lost for the present.
"First-Through ignorance in
not knowing and learning the con-
ditions existing in foreign markets
and countries.
Second By trying to make 4
place for their products in crowded
communities, whose people have
great experience and ample capital,
instead of outside or neutral
markets.
Thirdly inability to seek or
take advice of those who know.
'Fourth-By appropriateness of
effort-and as if this were not
enough.
Filthy rushing bindly into
combinations, many of which are
purely speculative, and then pro-
eeeding to advertise all over the
world their intention to take every
thing and leave nothing to any
body else. This laundering in the
index has not left much for the
text to say or threaten, and little (
for its authors to do"
The writer closes with predic-
ton that the foregoing points will
be overcome by Americans, and
that they will build a permanent
and profitable foreign trade with
out being of necessity hurtful or
dangerous to the industries of
other countries.
Some OF the points herein quoted
are right in line with what has
been repeated presented heretofore
by THE OASIS with reference to the
trade of American commercial
houses in foreign lands, as exam
plified right at our very doors, in
the neighboring state OF Sonora.
Particularly does this section apply
to the first, the third and the
fourth of the above quoted points
in the London Times article, viz:
The oasis. [volume] (Arizola, Ariz.) 1893-1920, 1903-10-03


foreign markets and countries; in
ability to seek or take advice o
those who know; inopportunenes
of effort.
Outside of mining machiner,
and supplies and the grocery anc
shoe trade with the stores of Amer
lean mining companies operating
in Sonora, it may be safely stated
that there is very little sale fol
American goods in that state. Ano
such as are sold go to meet the
wants of Americans sojournins
there in the service of or connected
with mining enterprises. The great
and profitable trade of the natives
is left to French, German and
English houses-particularly to the
two first named nationalities. They
=
try to meet the demands of their
customers and succeed. The Am
erican meets the demands of his
American customers in Sonora
simply because they are the same
demands that are made by the
same kind of people at home.
But of the native demands, the
American manufacturer and jobber
are supremely ignorant and indif-
ferent thereto. Nor, as the Eng
lish writer points out, will they
take advantage of the observation
and knowledge of their fellow Am
orleans in Mexico, who know and
can inform them what is wanted
and will meet with ready sale.
But the principal drawback to
American commercial success in
Mexico is the fourth point made
by the English writer, viz: In
of effort. The Am
erican commercial traveller visiting
Mexican cities, rushes into place,
takes few orders and goes out
again, when were he not in such
hurry and gave his customers time
% think, he might greatly increase
lis list OF orders and the conse-
luent profit of his trip. Another
drawback is that he usually re-
presents only single house, deal
ng in single line OF goods. Now
he French or German commercial
represents a number of
houses and various lines of goods.
And when he enters a city he en-
ers upon a campaign which is as
killfully and carefully planned as
hough he were general with an
invading force seeking its capture.
