Japan's Sea Trainino

In the eleventh or twelfth century
the japanese were the most dashing
pirates of the East; in fact, we might
almost call them the vikings of the
East. They used junks-smau ships.
with a scrap of sail, but quite as sea-
worthy as, for instance, the little YES
sells in which the Danes once raided
our own coasts, or as the craft which
the Penzance fishermen have today,
With these junks the Japanese roamed
the seas, going everywhere along the
Chinese main, ravaging the coasts,
trading and bringing home priceless
works of art from China.
1t was not until long afterward that
the ruling authorities of Japan, under
the great Emperor Hideyoshi, decided
that it suited their purpose to shut
off communication with the outside
world and to live to themselves. trading
merely among their own islands. The
old japanese vikings were reduced to
simple fishermen, and the period of in
ternal feudatory wars began, for at that
time at least Japanese would fight be-
cause they loved it.-London Telegra phi.

"Trade Follows the Ship

Americas imports of goods into this
country have increased by over one
million pounds in five years. Whether
or not they do anything in the mother
country, we have put an extra 40 per
cent on some lines and 20 per cent on
others, and this ought to give the Brit
1Sh manufacturer a good show.
My experience has taught me that
the British manufacturer has a good
deal to learn. The manner the Ger
mans have of doing their business is
far in advance Of the English method.
Then, somehow or other, they manage
to get the freights reduced. You can
get the heavy lines of goods shipped
from New York or German ports at
from 20 to so per cent less than you
can get the same goods carried from
British ports.
The "open-door" policy is exploded.
It is open hell to the British working
man and his employer when he has got
vast American and German competition
to contend with. You hear it said that
trade follows the flag. Take it from
me, old friends it is all nonsense. 1t is
nothing Of the sort. Trade follows the
ship, and people buy where they can
get the best terms, be quickly served,
| and get the articles they want-Get-
ter from Premier Seldom, Of New Zea-
