JAPANESE BUYERS
VERY CRITICAL

Consul General H B. Miller of Yoko-
hama suggests methods that must ne
followed by American merchants and
manufacturers IL they are to have any
very great share of the Far Eastern
trade He says:
THE Japanese people enter into most
minute and accurate examination of
machinery, appliances and merchandise
generally This universal character
istic, together with experience, indi-
Gates clearly the Importance OF
sending expert representatives, TO
japan in order TO make sue
cess of securing and holding me
trade of this country. These peo-
pie have a way of asking questions
and of wanting information that only
experts can answer. and persons un-
able to furnish satisfactory explana-
tons to their questions will not be
able to secure or retain their trade 1t
is a great mistake. to look upon the
Japanese as a nation of imitators
Their most important quality OF mind
is adaptation. They are students of
applied industry, and things they pur-
chase must be adapted to their wants.
to the habits and characteristics of
their people, while of the best modern
style.
Another important fact to be borne
in mind by merchants and manufac-
turers wanting business in Japan is
that Japanese Industrial life is expand
ing in a great variety of lines. and
close attention to this development is
necessary TO secure a share in this ex
banding and newly developing trade.
This requires active and alert local
representatives. Americans are meet
ing with much success In the trade of
Japan. and my Investigations convince
me that this success is due to local
representation, supported by expert
agents, being provided as required
REPRESENTATIVES of other countries are
realizing this American advantage and
are advising their countrymen to fol-
low Il.
NEW ADJUSTMENT OF TRADE
Japan is endeavoring to expand into
a manufacturing country. The Gov
eminent, by general legislation. by its
tariff. its subsidies. Its banking capital
and the use of its national credit to
borrow money at a low rate OF inter-
est and reloaning to manufacturers and
commercial people by It's scientific and
commercial experts, seems determined
to make Japan a great manufacturing
country for Oriental markets One of
the greatest generals of industry in
the United States said to me recently
The highway of American commerce
to the Orient leads through Japan.
While this statement should not be
taken as applicable to every form of
Oriental trade. still I am convinced
that in general it will hold good; hence
merchants and manufacturers will
profit by examining the trade of the
Orient from this point of view.
I'm many lines American manufac-
turers will do we'll to have the eruder
and coarser parts of their machinery
manufactured in Japan. A study of
the tariff and advantages offered by
the japanese Government will. show
this advice to be based upon a con-
sideration of a part of national
policy. would especially advise Amer
lean manufacturers to make a care
full investigation of the conditions that
cause this opinion to be expressed.
There is much more to be gained

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION

Another important feature for our
merchants and manufacturers to note
is the fact that the Japanese Gov
eminent constantly gives scientific as
sistance to Its merchants and manu-
facturers: hence successful deception
in the character or quality OF goods
cannot be carried out. The analysis
of -four. for instance, is provided for
by the Government. The representa-
tive here of an important four-im-
porting firm learned for the first time

altered the quality of a certain brand

ouirements for meeting the growing
trade of the Orient I repeat them:

PACKING AND INSPECTION
Concerning packing. shipping and
alteration of products to suit this trade
1t is Gseless to repeat the advice so
often given by Consuls for each line
has its own competition to meet and
all of these things are made effective
only through the eyes of interested
representatives. I desire to emphasize,
however. that the Importance of send
ing special representatives to carefully
study all these problems on the ground
and to urge upon the home houses to
heed the advice and instructions of
such representatives In many lines
the trade of the Orient is going to be
sufficient to justify extensive prepare
tions and special provisions to secure
and hold 1t. 1t is the ability to know
and to provide for what is wanted that
makes the local representatives effec-
tive Manufacturers should understand
that in this market they are competing
with Great Britain, France, Germany,
Belgium and many other countries.
most of which are anxious and willing
to alter, pack and in every way pro-
vide for the special requirements Of
this market.
