TRADE WITH THE EAST.
We Have Pathway to Asia and Will
Maintain 1t.


There exists, practically, no limit TO
the enormous possibilities of trade with
Asia for our Western wheat-growipg
States. Japan will be the entering
wedge. Already we are in touch with
Japan, already We are on the friendliest

er Already Japan is beginning to eat
wheat instead of rice. Her many mil
lions of tons of rice Japan consumes
every year cannot, of course, be detin-
itely ascertained. The total is some
thing enormous. But the sudden fact
appears that already Japan is begin
ming to eat wheat instead of rice.
With mutual regard and commercial
good-fellowship existing, and with Japan
now turning to -four, and with the whole
western side of our vast empire with
-four to give to- the rest Of the world,
the condition becomes most simple For
the good of all concerned, whole nations
considered, it is necessary that we should
put our wheat and -four across the Pa
cific Ocean and give to our brothers,
of any color, what they may require,
and, So, benefit them and greatly benefit
ourselves.
The fact that the Japanese army is
using the American bareback cracker Is
a fact the tremendous consequences of
which, in its commercial possibilities, has
not yet been realized. TT means that
Japan has begun trading earnestly With
the United States in the cereal upon
the production of which so much of OFT
commercial welfare depends, and yet this
is but starting point as to what iS

and will undoubtedly remain SO through
out the future, but Japan, wonderful as
she is, is but the fringe nearest to us
of that great Asia, overpopulated and
hungry, and looking to- this newer henri
sphere to feed it, under newly existing
conditions.
The conditions have been provided by
the accidental possessions following
