The Fear of

the oriental mind. The British had forced
the orientals to learn the English Ian
guage as the only medium of business
transaction. The Germans came already
possessed Of English. to which they add
ed at once q working knowledge Of native
languages and dialects. Instead of quit
ting work early for tennis and cricket
the German worked on into the night,
and when the annual race meeting came.
horror Of horrors! the German business
worked on while the Englishmen were
enjoying the sport Of kings. And for this
reason every young Briton working in
the orient declares that 1t is the first
duty OF the British government to 60 to
war for the express purpose OF destroy
ing. German commerce, that such
breaches Of oriental mercantile etiquette
may be made forever impossible.

and the United States offered the money
to China on much more liberal terms than
did the British bank Gas not taken into
consideration by Englishmen. They merely
swore over their ante-tifiin cocktails that
this had become q business for warships.
and that nothing but the strong British
navy could suffice to wipe out the insult

So it is with the irresponsible under

Of arms. They know that something is
radically wrong with the British system.
and they are coming to the realization
that what is needed in England is the
abolition Of the rule of thumb. But until
they can awaken the whole people, both
the habit-encysted workmen and clerks
the truth Of the situation, they will not
be able to devise plan for meeting COM
petition, and thus ending the fear OF 1t.
The helpless position of the men at
the head. of affairs is illustrated in the
case of the manager of a large rubber
manufacturing concern. An inventor
came into the London Office of the manu-
facturer with a new device made of rub
Der which promised large business The
manager was much pleased, and he sent
it to his factory with instructions to
make up a quantity Of samples. The
model was returned with the information
that nothing like that had been made
before, and that the workmen refused to
attempt 1t. The inventor went to Ger

facturer at once. And yet these work.
men join with the speculation-crazed peo-
pie who are putting their savings in rub
Der shares. in complaining because their
government does not protect them from
the effects of German competition. This
is an extreme case. no doubt, but 1t is
true. and 1t is a sample of what can
happen in England, despite the fear OF
competition.

Opens American
Department Store

American system ever seen In Great
Britain, and 1t is by far the handsomest
and most convenient retail establishment
In London. When this store was being
built It's proprietor was assailed. in the
press and by every means Of publicity, as
being a wicked foreigner. who, was COM
ing to England to steal the last crust
from starving Britons by means Of this
Dreadful engine Of competition. Partly to
allay this prejudice, the American mer-
chant provided himself with q complete
stan Of Englishmen. Even his private Sec
rotary was an Englishman, aud. besides
himself there was but one American in
the whole great store from garnet to cellar
when 1t was opened for business Employ
ment was provided for nearly 1900 Eng
fish people who had been out Of work.
Yet SO deep is the hatred Of foreigners
and 30 compelling Is the fear of competi-
ton that there are literally millions Of
people In London who would die rather
than to enter the portals Of that store.
America and who herself deplored many
Of the ultra-conservative notions Of her
people, declined to SO much as walk
through the American store. giving as her
father and she would not countenance 1t
in any fashion.
In the orient. where British merchants
for decades had no competition whatever,
certain habits and mustoms of ease
and luxury were developed and made
part Of the British mercantile
system. For, instance, in Calcutta.
or Singapore, or Shanghai 1t has
been the rule always to close the
banks and all business houses for ten
days during the race meeting. In the
fullness Of time the Germans came to
these and to other oriental cities set up
their great warehouses and Allied them
with German wares brought from Ger
many In German ships. The British
smiled. for they said that no German
ever could hope to &arn the processes of

to work to abolish the rule Of thumb. 1t
substituted scientific strength for brute
strength in its military arm; it began to
consider men as more valuable assets
than dollars. and 1t compelled everything
and everybody to work with single aim
and without waste of energy toward the
accomplishment OF a definite purpose. 1t
required many years to do its work. but
Prussia took no backward step. 1t
wrested the soepter of German power
from Austria, it broke the spell Of French
magnifcence, 1t united Germany under
it's captaincy and then 1t set to work to
build up its commerce
The German commercial advance has
been steady and rapid It has left moth
ing to chance. The government has aided
and encouraged the manufacturer by sub
sidizing merchant marine by granting
special privileges to German trading
houses abroad. by furnishing cheap trans
rortation at home and by conserving the
brain and Drawn Of the workman. And
the Germans have no habit or custom In
business which they will not change to
suit the within or convenience OF pros
pective customer.
In the recent general election campaign
in England the conservative party CAPT.
talized the fear of competition and was
able to create a great popular sentiment
in favor OF q protective tariff. despite the
sacred memory Of Golden and the RENT,
niscences Of those old men who had lived
through the hungry forties''. Any
speaker who could paint the German as a
business competitor filching the bread
from the mouth of the British workman
was sure to win the enthusiastic plaudits
of his auditors 1t was q device which
rarely failed.
