AMERICA GETS
INDIAN TRADE
Has Taken Over Much of Busi-
ness Formerly Held by Eng
land and Central Powers

London. Jan. THE United States
and Japan have taken over since the
beginning of the war. virtually all Of
the big export trade which the Cen
traI Powers had with India. says an
official report which adds that. un-
douStedly, American competition in
India has come to stay.
The place of the Central Powers
has been taken by the United States
so far as iron and steel, machinery.
hardware, and instruments are con-
eerned. Japan has taken the trade
heretofore held by Central Powers in
such articles as electrical accessorie&
copper. paper, glassware. textiles
beer. and clothing. The bazaar trade
in cheap, showy goods has been en-
tirely captured by Japan.
The primary reason for the in
creased shipments of American man
ufactured goods to India has been the
inability of the established British
exporters to supply the market owing
to war conditions, says the report. I'm
proved shipping facilities between the
United states and India are declared
to have very largely contributed to
the expansion.
There is no doubt adds the re-
port. that American competition in
India has come to stay. A determined
effort is being made to secure a large
share Of the trade of this valuable
market in steel and steel work, ma
ehinery of all kinds, including ma
chine tools, mill stores and hard
ware; canned provisions; motor cars.
lorries and cycles. and lumber.
Japan now occupies the second
place in India's import and export
trade. 1t is in Great Britain's staple
trade OF India, namely cotton yarns
and piece goods. that the most seri-
Gus inroads have been made and that
Japanese competition in the future is
expected to be most permanent and
insistent.

.KOLCHAK FIGHT
TO BITTER END
Prince Cantacuzene, Head of
Military Mission, Says Anti
Soviet Needs Supplies.
CALLS ON ALLIES TO AID
Believes Money Spent to Support
kolchak Would Help Check
Spread of BOlshevism.

New York, Jan. 7.-Prince Cantacu-
zene, who married the granddaughter
OF President Grant and who is in
this country on a military mission
for the Kolchak government of Rus
STA, said today concerning the re-
ports that Kolchak had given up the
command;
whether or not Kolchak has been
forced to resign active command of
the Russian armies because of i'll
ness, the military situation is not seri-
ousIy altered thereby. There are
other men in the Russian army who
viii carry on the fighting as long
as there IS a foot of ground left
There is vast territory between the
Russian front and the Pacific ocean
and even if Irlzutsk has fallen into
the hands of the bolsheviI1i, which
/ myself find hard to believe, the all
Russian army will carry on.
''The Kolchak armies are fighting
and they have many and excellent Of
ficers. What they need is supplies.
They have no shoes, no clothes, very
little ammunition, and very little food.
If the allies wish TO stop the spread
of bolshevism throughout the world,
they must come to the rescue of Kol-
chak and Denikine.
SemenOtT IS a COSSack. he IS an
honest and strong man. I do rot be-
lieve that he is playing into the hands
of the Japanese as people in America
are inclined to believe. He is a Rus
sian and a patriot. His methods are
but his purpose is to fight
the bolsheviki and save the world
from their clutches.
THE Kolchak armies rae fighting
on the defensive. Until they are given
supplies by the allies, they win not
be able to take the offensive. Their
great contribution to the peace Of the
world at present is that they are
preventing the spread of bolshevism
into the Orient.
ssThe boIsheviki in Russia have
failed. They know that they have
failed. It is only a matter of time
before the peasants, who are disillu-
stoned and bitter. uprise once more

vi Endorse President.


A resolution endorsing President
Wilson's stand on the peace treaty and
commencing his efforts to establish
a league OF peace is to be laid before
the democratic national committee at
its meeting: here tomorrow with the
backing of the committee officials.
II / have anything to do with it,"
said Chairman Cummins today after
consultation with various party lead
ers, "the resolution win be so clear
as to leave no doubt about Our po-
sition. We are behind the president" !"
The announcement that formal ac-
tion by the committee would be sought
was taken as enhancing the prospect
that the treaty would become an ac-
tive campaign issue. The general ex-
pectation was that the committee
would adopt the resolution, helping to
open the way for discussion of the
subject a the Jackson day banquet
Thursday night.
Both in a letter from President Will
son and in a speech by William j.
Bryan the treaty is expected by com
mitteemen 10 be brought prominent
~ forward a t the banquet What they
win say and how far their views
will coincide was the subject of spir-
tied discuss ion today. some leaders
foreseeing an interesting situation
should they counsel opposite courses.
The committe resolution is under
stood to go no further than endorsing
the position OF the president avoiding
any direct declaration for Satifica-
ton without reservations. Mr.. Cum
MINIS said the views of the executive
had been made known in numerous
public addresses and messages and
needed no INTERPRETATION
While plans for this part of the
committee meeting were developing,
the fight over the place of this years
national convention also to be decid-
ed tomorrow became more spirited. OF
the six cities asking for the honor,
only three seemed TO be serious con-
tenders. They were San Francisco,
Kansas city and Chicago, with the
two former making the most vigorous
fights.
St Louis. which withdrew from the
race some we eks ago. might again ex-
Tend an invitation before the selection
IS made. Party representatives from
Missouri said. however, no active fight
would be made unless sentiment de-
veloped that san Francisco, Kansas
civ. and chicago all were unaccept-
able.
san Francisco boosters were partic-
,,larlv active and claimed 10 be re-
cefving much encouraSement, espe-
ciaflv from middle western interests.
TO the argument that san Francisco
is TOO far west for the bulk OF East
orn DELEGATES the Pacific coast city
advocates were replying that nun
dreds OF western delegates IN 1slz
,,,o,a reouired to go to Baltimore.
T,,,e - +vto weeks after the re-

Democratic Leaders Gathering

Phases of Campaign
BRYAN's FORCE UNKNOWN
Expect Wilson and the Com
mOnel to State Positions at
Jackson Day Dinner

Washington. Jan. The peace
treaty as a campaign Issue Ioomed
NtSnspicuo usly on the political horizon
today as leaders of the democratic
party gathered here to lay preliminary
plans for the presidential contest. AL
ready the-e is an overshadowing fight
Tor the convention which apparently
Shad narrowed down to Kansas City
and San Francisco.
Discussion of the treaty got addi-
tional impetus when it became known
that officers of the democratic ma
tional committee will ask the mem
bers Of the committee tomorrow to put
the committee squarely behind Presi-
dent Wilson in his stand on the treaty
The announcement stirred endless
speculation when it was coupled with
unYerified reports that Bryan would
advocate a different course in his
speech at the Jackson day banquet
tomorrow night.
The message which President VIII
son is to send the diners was another
unknown quality. 1t is generally as
the treaty but it's unknown how far
he viii go or whether he viii urge
that ratification be made an active
issue in the campaign.
Little attention has been paid as yet
TO possible presidential candidates.
There has been hesitancy on this sub
Ject because of uncertainty over the
intentions Of Wilson and Bryan, some
committee members expect a declara-
ton from one or both tomorrow night.
