Queen of the Pacific, restrictive and
ill-advised laws passed in this country
are putting us out of the running so
far as trade in the Orient is concern
ed. | refer particularly, of course, to
the seamen's law, although our pres

to Japan The former has wiped out
our shipping on the Pacific Ocean and
Japan controls the situation, carrying
our goods at her own rates and in her
own time, giving first consideration
| in regard to cargo space to her own
wares. The low duties carried in the
Democratic law are helping Japan to
get into our domestic market. for the
wages she pays are ridiculously small.
Furthermore, she is rapidly cutting
the ground from under our feet in
China and the Far East generally.

tention: Japan is taking her cue from
Germany and is imperializing her in
dustries as we'll as becoming militaris-
tic in principle. Every mercantile line
of any Importance running out of ia
pan today is subsidized. She has sub
sidized several industries as well, and
she is taking every precaution which
an autocracy may take to insure her
commercial leadership when peace is
declared. I cam not too earnestly
warn the American people of the i'm
portance of Japan as factor to be
4 considered in deciding upon our fu-
ture commercial policies"
i How does the warning of this ira
weller square with official information
which comes to us of the same nature
Some time ago Consul General Ander-
son wrote from China that Japan was
making determinations in favor of her
own goods being carried in Japanese
bottoms, and as our ships were off the
routes there was. nothing to do but
stand for it. And she is pushing up
the tonnage rates for all the traffic will
stand. Meanwhile the ADMINISTRATOR
dallies with its miserable ship purchas.
