BUILDING tfoREloN TRADE

The International Investment Cor
poration, recently organized by Ma
tional City Bank and affiliated inter-
ests, has been providing some illus
trations Of the right way to develop
American business abroad. An ex-
cellent case is that, announced today,
of the corporations arrangement to
loan $6,000,O0 in China, for the i'm
provement of the Grand canal and
the reconstruction of railways. It is
explained that this loan is made on
condition that American contractors
shall construct the works.
That is the way German and Brit
ish finance always works hand in
hand with German and British bust
ness. If a German concern provides
capital for a railway in Uganda, then
German manufacturers provide it's
rails, cars, locomotives; German sup
ply houses outfit it; German contrac-
tors make the profits out of its con-
struction; and after it is built, Ger
man interests may be relied upon to
keep it pretty closely under their
control.
Argentina, again, has shown what
It means to British business to have
English gold in all manner of invest
ments. The Argentine railway sys-
tenn has been largely financed from
London; and Britain, at the outset of
the present war, held the dominat-
ing interests in most of the Argen-
tine roads. These holdings tied the
Argentine roads firmly to the steel
manufacturers, the car builders, the
general business interests, of Great
Britain. 1t was useless for outsiders
to try competition, unless the British
manufacturers at given moment
should be too busy elsewhere, which
has not often been the case.
Egypt has been rehabilitated with
British money, and British business
has profited by it. In a less way,
our own experience in the Philip
pines has been paralleled. The islands
have been provided with railroads
and with good modern highways.
Under American general direction,
Filipino credit has been made to pro-
vide these things, and Americans
have done about all the big work.
China offers the worlds greatest
opportunity for development in the
near future; and despite the discour-
aging attitude of the present Admin
istration toward investment there,
our banking interests have gone
ahead and established relations that
in future are certain to expand many
fold our commitments in the Far
East. 1t means opening markets in
a thousand different directions for
American wares; for our textiles,
machinery, all sorts of supplies that
China, with her 400,000,0O0 people,
is demanding in constantly increas-
Ing amounts --.l-------

DELICATE AND DIFFICULT STU.
ALTON

The reply from the de facto gov
eminent Of Mexico, to the most re-
cent representations Of the Wash
ington Administration, while con-
ciliatory in tone, may be only repre-
sentative Of General Carranza's pur-
pose to place the responsibility for
any break at the door Of the United
States. 1t is very apparent that the
difficulties of the situation in north
.ern Mexico, while they may be mo-
mentarily relieved, will not be per-
manently relaxed for q long time.
Danger will persist just SO long as
Mexico is In a chaotic state; SO long
as American and other interests in
or adjacent to Mexico cannot be as
sured safety. It IL quite impossible
that with affairs as they stand now
the American forces can be entirely
withdrawn from Mexico. That would
make Of the present punitive expedi-
ton another Vera Cruz affair, and it
cannot be presumed that that mis-
take will be repeated knowingly and
deliberately. ....
Instead of immediate composition
Of differences, it is altogether likely
that the area Of possible clash will be
increased; for large force Of Amer
lean troops is being gathered along
the border, and there will be more
resentment on the part Of Mexicans,
more determination on the side of
the Americans. The possibility of
sporadic encounters, Of spontaneous
combustion that may start a wide
confagration, will rather be in
creased as American forces and Car
rama forces confront each other in
larger and larger bodies scattered
over a wide front.
President Wilson is entitled to
credit for all sincerity in his state
ment that he would be willing to sac
rifice his political future in order to
avoid a war in Mexico. II is not diff
ficult to believe that his pacific pur-
poses 60 even that far in view Of the
attitude he has assumed throughout
both Mexican and European compli-
cations. But there is always danger
that every concession on his part
may be more than Offset by a cor
responding stiffening Of the Mexican
purpose. Carranza, will be deter
mined to capitalize any seeming
American weakness to his own po-
litical advantage. His satellites will
cultivate the view that American
consideration is really American
cowardice; that American troops,
once in Mexico, being withdrawn
were withdrawn because it was
feared to undertake maintaining
them there.
At best it will be months before
the tension along the border and in
the northern states can be relieved;
and throughout that period there
will be daily and imminent danger
of outbreaks that may bring most
disastrous consequences.
