The Board of Trade celebrated the
opening of its new quarters in the
Globe building last night when fully
300 representative citizens turned out to
hear an address by DR.. Gilbert Reid, OF
New York city, who spoke on the 1.-THE
Possibilities of American Trade in
China"
DR.. Reid said in part: "All the ma
tons of the world are interested in the
development oe the Far East, especially
of the Empire of China. Once the great
nations of the world were concentrated
on and arou the Mediterranean; later,
on and around the Atlantic, and now
the drama is being enacted on the Pa
cihe.
The trade conditions in China are in
some respects less favorable and more
difiicul- h they were before. There
IS more competition, which requires
more concentration on our part as
Americans, if success is to be assured
Formerly the British and Americans
were the only competitors and there
was room for both. Now there Is COM
petition between the British, German,
Japanese, and in a minor degree be-
tween the French. Hollanders and Rus
slams. America must compete with all
these
Urges High Quality Record.
In conclusion the speaker urged that
America keep up the high grade of
goods that were shipped to China and
not resort to sending cheap and in
ferior grades wen in the event of other
countries getting away trade temporar-
lily.
