JAPANESE AMBITIONS.

Japanese trade interests are aler
and active, and they are not waiting
for the end of the war to push theil
commerce with other nations. On,
of their ambitious projects is to es
tablish round-the- world line Of
steamship service, and the first vesse
to be placed on this route sailed from
San Francisco only few days since
This steamer will call at Honolulu
and then proceed to Yok kahoma, after
which she will visit Chinese ports
skirt the Indian ocean, touch at
South Africa, cross to South Ameri-
ca and, passing through the Panama
canal, return to her starting point
at San Francisco Other Japanese
vessels will be placed on "A similar
route, going both ways around the
world, and in this manner the clever
Japs expect to build up a very prof
liable transportation service, which
at the same time will materially aid
and promote Japanese trade with the
nations thus served.
Since the commencement of the
European war it is stated that Japan
has more than doubled her commerce
with South American nations, and her
far-sighted leaders are making every
effort to firmly establish japanese
commercial interests in every part of
the world. This is worthy ambition,
it must be conceded, although it is
cause for regret that the trade and
shipping interests of this country are
not as fully alive and as ready to
grasp Opportunity by the hand. AS are
our energetic Japanese heighbors.
There is little excuse. for instance.
for letting rich South American trade
go to Japan, when by all the rules
such trade should come to America.
And why permit the. Japs to take the
lead in ocean transportation service,
when all that is needed is little
push and enterprise on the part ol
Americans. to gain and hold this adj
vantage for our own country?
OF course, Japan cannot be blamed
for being ambitious and for work
ing to promote her own trade and
commercial interests. But in view IF
the activities put forward by Japan
it seems to be high time for Ameri-
can businessmen and dnanciers TO
wake up and do something to match
the efforts of Japan. Foreign trade
is not gained by merely sitting down
and waiting for orders. unless an ex-
ception be noted in the ease of so
called "war" business. Control of
transportation routes and service is
also important, and this nation should
bend every energy to gain as much of
this advantage as possible. The Japs
already are busy with such efforts.
and Americans must wake up and get
into the game.
