JAPAN'S FOREIGN
TRADEGAINSWITH
EVERY COUNTRY
BY RALPH II. TURNER
Omitted Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

\SAAtCO ACSS 0Iuu COIIcSpOuUcutJ
Toxic, Nov. 1l.-Some idea Of the
wonderful progress Japan has made
in her foreign trade since the war IS
gained from figures just announced
here. In every part Of the world this
nation has been establishing her
products, new markets have been
'pened and steamship lines, subsi-
dlzed by the government, extended
to every big port Of call on the face
OF the globe.
Greatest prosperity is being en-
joyed. perhaps. in the trade with
Russia. Japan's ally. who Is buying
everything from munitions to boots
and shoes. In one month-last Au-
gust-Japan exported goods to Rus
sia valued at S5,343,6O0. This fig
ure becomes all the more significant
when 1t is stated that the imports
this country received from Russia
reached only $32.125. leaving. a bal
ance OF $5,311.475 In favor OF the
EXPORTS
South America is another part Of
the world where Japan has found
markets which she hardly knew ex-
listed before. Exports to the South
American countries for the first eight
months OF this year amounted to ST.
O36.66O. not large figure when put
alongside records in American trade,
but worth considerable attention
when it is recalled that during the
same period last year Japan's ex-
ports to South America were valued
at only S603,574. Thus her trade
In that direction has been nearly
doubled in year
The South American republics TO
which the principal amounts were
exported are: Argentine, s444.275:
Chile, $685.; Peru. S157,O17.
Japan has found a new and very
profitable market in South America
and she intends to hold 1t.
Then comes China. market which
Japan declares really belongs to her,
market in which she promises to
outrival all other foreign MOVERS.
During the last ten days OF Septem-
ber-just one-third Of a month
Japan's exports to her neighbor
amounted to s2.446.3O9 For the
frst nine months OF the year the
total amount Of exports to China was
$50, ,721, an increase of s16.156.
44s over the corresponding period a
year ago
AS an illustration Of the way trade
with Australia has been growing in
the proverbial leaps and bounds. -
Japan's largest steamship company.
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, a firm in
which the imperial family owns n
great part of the stock, has, Just ad-
ded two more vessels to it's line tn
the Antipodes, making a total of ten
Japanese vessels which are now plv-
ing between this nation and Austria
liam ports.

GIBBONS 0U1POlN7S
DILLON IN TEN ROUNDS

st. Paul, Minn., Nov. 11.-Mike
Gibbons Of st. Paul outpointed Jack
Dillon of Indianapolis in q TO-
round, no-decision contest here last
night. Gibbons led in six rounds,
three sessions went to Dillon and the
other was even.
Newspaper men at the ringside
uniformly gave the bout to Gibbons,
some giving him every round.
Gibbons wonderful footwork and
his left jab were the chief factors in
his victory. Dillon's rounds were the
fifth, sixth and tenth, and he battled
like a tiger in those. In the final he
had Gibbons in a neutral corner and
Mike was forced to cover up closely
to save himself from punishment.
