JAPAN A KEEN
COMMERCIAL RIVAL

washington, May nth. Japan
must be given serious considerat-
ion in any commercial legislation
which we enact in the future.
said the president OF New York
manufacturing concern who was
in Washington recently.
Japan is putting it all over us
with respect to the Far Eastern
trade, and the seamen's law has
given her such monopoly of the
carrying trade on the Pacific
ocean that we are absolutely at
her mercy, The situation is well
summed up in letter which we
recently received from an Americ-
an firm with which we do business
in China. They say: Japanese
ships now practically control the
commerce between the States and
China, and these are ordered by
the japanese Government 20 give
japanese ports the preference in
calling for cargo, while Japanese
shippers in China receive prefer
ential treatment"
Immediately upon nthe passage
OF the seamen's law which drove
American shipping oft the Pacific,
Japan raised her freight rates.
From the Pacific coast TO Shang-
hal flour treights have advanced
from 81 to $50 per ton; steel
products from So to $50; general
cargo from $40 SO to $40. With
her control of shipping facilities
apan is able absolutely to dict
ate the terms on which we shall
do business in the Orient. We
have reports from one corporal
ion on the coast which has 3OO,-
900 tons of freight waiting
transportation to the Orient,
with only 1900 to 400 tons of
cargo space per month available
on Japanese boats. !.
"As if Democratic free trade
and the seamen's law were not
enough, Japan is showing, her
good faith with Great Britain by
rigidly enforcing the British en-
emy trading regulations. A large
amount of our trade with China
before the war was handled
through German and Austrian
houses. Today the Japanese
shipping companies has placed a
ban on any cargoes consigned to
these houses and the enemy trad
ing regulations are being handled
in a way to further British and
japanese interests as much as
possible.
AS an indication of the aid
which the Democratic party is
giving Japan, by foolish legIslat-
ion, let me call attention to the
tact that during the calendar
years 1914 and 1915, with the
Democratic tariff law on the
statute books, Japan sent us
goods to the value of $214,OOO,-
900, and took from US, during
those two years but $1O4 900 900
worth, or a balance of trade in
her favor, and against us, of
S11O,OOO,OOO.
During the eight months of
the fiscal year 1916. ended Feb
ruary last, Japan sent to us $S9,-
100000 worth of her goods. A
total of S95.0OO.OOO worth of
goods were bro ight to our shores
/ japanese ships. 1t is pretty
safe bet that Japan is delivering
every dollars worth of her ex.
ports to us in her own ships, and
picking up few million dollars
worth of freight here and there
along the route. Our own Paci-
nc coast lines ceased to operate
with the taking effect of the sea.
mans act of November, 1914.
During the eight months ended
February 1915 Japan sent us
500 100000 worth of her goods
and SAL 100000 worth ofmerch-
andise came in Japapese vessels.

tials, with the enigmatic words: Il
shall fool them yet, and you-I shall
never forget"
Striving to believe that something
might intervene to delay or prevent
the wedding, Ware had fingered about
the town after Leila's return from the
city. but now, within twenty-four
hours of the ceremony, he abandoned
all hope. A willing bride or a sacri-
fee, Leila had chosen, or had been
forced to choose stupid but wealthy
Boyd Weaver as her life companion.
Therefore Randall Ware was about to
fly to familiar solitary haunts, to hide
himself, to mourn in secret. to try
to forget.
1t was strange coincidence, he re-
flected, as he was driven from the
remote pineries station to the old
camping place he and his friends had
so often visited, that he passed the
summer home of a cousin of Leila's.
In fact, 1t was here that he had first
met Leila. That was the previous sea-
son. when she and her mother had
been guests of the cousin in question

From the direction of the bungalow
merry voices echoed out as the wagon
passed on. Ware WINGED; it all re-
minded him of the pleasant hours he
had spent at that spot in the company
Of Leila.
The old camping place was five
miles farther on through the woods.
