Asiatics in California, using their own
and Chinese capitalists resources, are
busy planning to build and operate q
line of steamers that will share in the
profits that lie ahead for all carriers
of goods and passengers across the
Pacific. Now it is true that China has
no traditions of marine glory, and her
experience up to date with modern
vessels of war has not been as glori-
ouss as that Of Japan. But China has
been a great trading nation for CEN
turtles; her ooasting and river busi-
ness experience has been long, varied
and profitable; and it Is not at all un:
likely that in due time she can sue,
eessfully administer project such as
is now limited at from Los Angeles.
Following Germany's example, China,
with vastly better ports and outlets,
by strict application of rational pro-
cesses to creation of a merchant mar
inc, navy and markets for increased
industrial and mineral output, can be-
come a rival of Japan in the Pacific,
and doubtless will If left free to de
velop normally. -.
