TO SEEK
TRADE IN
PACIFIC
| Transportation Facilities in
Far East Now Being
Studies by u. S.

In order that the United States may
play a more prominent part in the
commerce on the Pacific, the Depart
ment of Foreign Domestic commerce
has started an Investigation into port
and transportation facilities in Russia
and the far east. The work will be
CARRIED on by Paul Page Whitman, a
consulting engineer of Seattle, who is
In this city for a week prior to his
departure from Vancouver for China
on April II. Not only will the existing
conditions be examined. but proposed
facilities of ports, rivers and railroad
transportation in order that American
business men may have an adequate
knowledge of trade that can be
greatly increased, according to Mr..
Whitman.
Mr.. Whitman said yesterday that
his work would take until the summer
OF 1918, and that he hoped to bring
back with him a vast amount of in
formation that would lead to an extern
sion of the American mercantile
marine to the far eastern waters. He
also pointed out that the future de-
velopment Of Oriental ports depended
on capital. and that he would study
any opportunities for American
financiers.
The itinerary decided upon by Mr..
Whitman includes the following coun-
tries: Russia. China. Japan, the
Philippines, French China, the FEEDER
ated Malay States. the East Indies,
Burma, India and Australasia.
My investigation will not be con-
fined to the ports of these countries"
said Mr. Whitman. -"but will be ex-
tended to the territory accessible by
railroads and canals. The first object
is to provide shipowners and operators
and those interested in foreign trade

the shipper can determine the ports
through which he can most advantage
ously reach certain territories and the
best routing from there to his destina-
ton.
Another object of this investiga-
ton is to obtain information regard
ing the development of the ports, es:
pecially in China and Asiatic Russia,
with an opening for the investment of
American capital. / shall also study
the markets for cranes. warehouses,
cold storage plants, grain elevators,
lighterage machinery and such goods
as would be in demand in almost any
port.
''United States is very backward
in shipping on the Pacific. OF the vast
amount of foreign trade in Seattle
during last year. hardly a ton was
shipped on an American liner. Our
country may be compared to a depart
ment store that has to depend on the
delivery equipment of rival store to
deliver its goods. l hope that this
investigation will result in opening
the way for the United States to COM
pete with Japan and other nations in
the extensive Pacific trade"
Mr.. Whitman is ready to confer with
any shipping men. exporters and
engineers interested in his investiga-
ton. Conferences can be arranged
by communicating with e. G. Mears,
Chief of the Division OF Commercial
Agents, Room 400. Custom House. Mr..
Whitman will visit number of cities
before sailing and expects to discuss
his subjects with a number of invest
ment bankers. contractors. shipping
men and various business and export
ing houses.
