TRADE OPPORTUNITIES
IN CHINA ARE SET FORTH
Julien Arnold. U. s. Commercial
Attache at Pekin, Tells G. U.
Students East is Calling.

Julien Arnold, United States COM
mercial attache at Peking. China, ad-
dressed the student body of the school
of foreign service of Georgetown Uni
versity, last night on China and It's
Opportunities" Mr.. Arnold declared
that the China Of today is different
from the China of yesterday.
Mr.. Arnold is at present connected
with the Bureau Of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce. in Washington, but
he will soon leave for China again
He has just completed a speaking
tour that included almost every large
city in the United States. He has
spent the past ten years in China, in
charge of the commercial interests Of
the United States.
The United States is an Asiatic ma
ton rather than a European nation.
but you would never think it Judging
from the attitude Of commercial stu
dents in this country" declared Mr.
Arnold. "In nearly all of my tours
throughout the United States I find
students studying Spanish in order to
At themselves for business with
South America or some other coun-
try where Spanish is spoken, but I
find very few students studying Chi
enese to At them for the country
where the real opportunities lie"
Mr.. Arnold explained that some
parts of China are still in the primi-
tive stage. and that it is still a nation
of the handicraft industry, although
it is gradually developing big cotton
mills and other industrial and eco
nomical resources.
The Chinese are an industrious
people, keen on matters Of foreign
trade and commerce and agriculture.
but they arc just beginning to de-
velop those faculties" he said. "Prac-
tically only per cent Of the people
of China can read or write, but the
development of the simplified Chinese
language, which is in vogue now. will
aid in educating the people and plac-
ing them on a higher level" said Mr..
Arnold.
