Major Bassett Would Instruct
Regiment in China-For
War and Trade.

Peking, April 30.-A commercial reg-
ment for China, composed of young
American business men subject to war
service, who while serving their country
will at the same time form the skirmish
line Of an American commercial army to
invade China after the war, is ono of the
possibilities if recommendations by the
American Minister, DR.. Paul s. Rensch,
TO tho War and State Departments at
Washington are needed.
The idea of a commercial regiment
originated with Major Arthur Bassett
of the United States army, stationed in
Tientsin- His plan was suggested to
Minister Reinsch and by the latter sub
mitted to Washington for consideration.
The idea,' said Major Bassett, "is,
briefly, to take young men with business
experience or who expect to follow a
business career who are drafted into the
army and instead of sending them to
France organize them into a special regi-
ment and send them 10 China. These
men could get their military training IN
China Just as thoroughly as elsewhere
and at the same time acquire akrounding
In Eastern commercial methods. They
would relieve troops now stationed here
who would be available for service on the
Western front.
"The North ChinasSchool of Languages,
which is already doing good work in
teaching the northern or Mandarin Chi
nese.' has tentatively promised TO open
branch Of the school in Tlentsin to teach
American troops as | have suggested
At the same time arrangements could
easily be made for course of instruction
in Chinese commercial methods and busi-
ness opportunities With a knowledge
of the language and with facilities for
observation which couldbe assured. each
man at the close of the war would become
factor for the promotion of American
trade in China
In the past trading has been done from
the treaty ports whence the Chinese took
the goods into the interior and marketed
them. The Japanese, however, have
more or less broken away from this
practice; they have penetrated into the
interior and have made it necessary for
the old method OF conhning operations
10 treaty ports to be done away. II
Western nations are TO compete for this
Chinese business, a large number of Young
business men who speak the language
and know the customs and practices Of
the people will be indispensable They
must be able to 60 into the interior and
market their goods direct.
There are really great commercial
opportunities here in China, and il looks
as though this would be the commercial
battle ground after the war If thev are

nations must prepare now for the struggle
