DUTCH BID FOR U. s. CAPITAL.
Want More Money Invested in Neither
lands East Indies.

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
The Hague, Aug. 24.-'I regard 1t az
most desirable that more American
capital should be invested in the Meth
erlands East Indies, and have done
constantly what could to promote
that end" declared J. B. van der Hou-
ven van Oordt, one OF three Hollanders
who have just been charged with an
official mission to Washington in con-
nection with the pending export ques-
ton, that so vitality concerns the
Netherlands. Mr.. van Oordt Is a
colonial Official and authority. He has
been under-eecretary Of state for the
colonies, and has also filled the post
Of vice president Of the, council Of the
Netherlands East Indies.
To the correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press, Mr.. van Oordt pointed out
that theve has been q big increase in
the commercial intercourse between
America and Dutch India since the
war, and particularly since the estab-
lishment OF direct steamship line be-
tween JaIa and San Francisco. "The
five boats now engaged in that serv-
Ice" he said ARE always packed with
goods. Rubber and all kinds Of tropical
products are shipped to the United
States, and the boats return laden with
railroad rolling stock machinery auto
mobiles, aeroplanes and the like. II
only the ships were available. the .serv-
ice might easily, and to advantage. be
extended.
''But the amount Of American CAPT
tai operating in the colony is small IN
comparison with the British, German,
French and Belgian capital. It is true
there has been an increase In recent
years. There Is one American rubber
estate in the island of Sumatra that

and Special ships run to United States
ports to carry its produce thither. But
q great deal more might profitably be
DONE especially now money Is so
plentiful IN the union. The sugar. rub
ber tea and other agricultural
branches offer enormous scope for
profitable. investment, not to speak of
mining possibilities.
"Altho there are at present very few
in the country, Americans are popular
in the Netherlands East Indies, and
they and their enterprises-are assured
OF. a most cordial welcome. There Is
every prospect of big extension OF
the relations between the two coun-
tries, to our mutual advantage"
