San Francisco, April I'LL feeling
which may lead to the undoing of
the work accomplished when the
chambers of commerce of the Pa
cific coast cities sent large party Of
business men to visit the merchants
of Japan last fall and followed by
an invitation to Japanese merchants
to visit the Pacific coast as a return
compliment.
The San Francisco Call prints a
story this morning to the effect that
the San Francisco chamber of COM
merce was insulted because the Sc
attic chamber of commerce recently
invited the japanese to visit the coast
without letting San Francisco join in
the invitation. When San Francisco
business men were invited to visit
Japan they thought it would be prop
er to let other coast cities in on the
trip and they did So but Seattle has
failed to return the favor.
