WATER ROUTE SAVES
COSTS TO FAR EAST
Rate Per Ton Can Be Cut
One-hulf.

MANILA. Dec. 15.--By using all water
transportation from shipping points in
the eastern part of the United States
freight rates to the Far East can be cut
In half. according to Marcus g. Hill. q
lecturer on foreign trade and formerly
connected with Northwestern and Chi
cago universities.
THE solution OF the high cost of
freight Is the all-water route" said Mr.
Hill "On automobiles. for example,
through bills OF lading over the all-water
route may be. obtained from Detroit and
Chicago; and of course from St Louis.
the same routing for shoes, stoves. &c.
could be obtained. Use of the Panama
Canal makes this possible.
The rate from Chicago 10 the Pacific
coast is $50 n ton. plus the recent In
crease OF 33 1-3 per cent. Let us say. n
total Of $3.50 ton aecumulates on
goods shipped from Chicago to Shanghai
when they are routed by rail from Chi
cago to the coast.
IF the Panama Canal were used the
charge would be approximately s35.
The goods would come down the Missis-
-eippi River 60 New orleans. the Gulf OF
Mexico and then the canal and out on
the Pacific. The charge from Chicago
to Panama would be approximately SIS.
and from Panama to Shanghai about
$50, the total being s35."

GOLD FROM INDIA
REACHES NEW YORK
San Francisco Also Receiving
Yellow Metal From Shang-
hal and HOngkOng.

A shipment OF gold from India-the
first yellow metal to be delivered In this
country since the movement from China
and India commenced reoently-has Just
been received by the Guaranty Trust
Company OF New York The shipment
Is precurrent TO q general movement.
the trust company says, which should
bring to the United States very SUBJ
stantial amount OF gold. and which Is
responsible, incidentally, for the firmer
tone Of the rupee and tael rates which
has been noticed lately.
Concerning events leading UP to the
present movement Of gold from the Far
East the company says:
"All the visible stocks Of. silver. in
Guiding the silver dollars sold to Great
Britain under the Pittman act were In
sufficient to settle the trade balance
rolled UP against the world by India ana
China during the war. No silver peing
available, gold was resorted to, and
yellow metal was shipped to Bombay.
Calcutta, Singapore. Hong Kong and
Shanghai from South Africa Via Lon
don, from Australia and from both New
York and San Francisco.
india and China absorbed gold by the
millions, but their rates of exchange con-
.inued TO soar until March OF last year
when the rupee was quoted in the neigh-
borhood of S.4S and the tael as hign as
s1.7O. These high rates not alone at
tracted gold. but also commodities In
large amounts. with the result that the
trade balances were first settled and
then reversed. The commodity panic
attendant upon the readjustment period
In both Europe and the United States
virtually wiped out the Indian and CHI
nest export trade over night, and In
something like eight months the rupee
went from s.4s to s.25 and the tael from
81 20 to $40
Expressed in terms OF taels and
rupees. Chinese and Hindus have about
12OT profit in their gold and. in view OF
the famine in China and the hard times
prevailing throughout the Far East, the
Orientals are now taking their profits in
the way of sales of gold and the metal in
the market is offered at prices which
represent discount of about 6qs.
"Gold usually flows 20 the nearest pre-
MUM market, and, in the case of India,
Yokohama was the first absorber. The
weight of this metal shortly began to tell
on the yen rate. which quickly fell from
.51iA to less than 4S. thereby making
further exports Improbable There re-
mains one premium market for the ship
ment OF gold, and that is the United
States. This explains the movement OF
gold from Bombay to New York and
from Shanghai and Hongkong TO San
Francisco"

TO DELAY
BIG SHIPPING MERGER
Programme to Be Taken Up
After Next Session of Diet.

TOXIC, Dec. All talk Of the pro-
posed big shipping merger programme Is
to be suspended until after the end of the
next session of the Diet. as result OF an
interview between Mr.. Noda. Minister
OF Communications. and Mr.. Keijiro
Hori. president of the Osaka Shosen
kiasha-
Mr.. Hori was the only representative
of the shipping companies concerned
whose views on the proposal had re-
mained unheard. owing TO his absence.
When the amalgamation proposal was
being made he was en- route from Genoa.
where he represented Japanese ship
owners at the International Seamen's
Conference.
The representatives OF the other ship
ping companies concerned-that is. the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha. the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha and the Kokusai Klsen Kaisha
were at one In principle with the au-
thorities in recognizing the necessity Of
amalgamating the shipping companies tc
strengthen their position against foreign
competition. but at the same time they
could not shut their eyes to the immense
difficulties attending the realization or
the proposal owing to the great differ
ence between the business and financial
position of the shipping concerns.

MiIitari.ts Running China.

There has been q slump in, American
business projects in China. Several of
the firms which opened branches there
last year have discontinued them en-
tirely Many others have made great
reductions in the size of their personnel.
The military parties are really run
ming the Chinese Government. The civil
war between the North and the South
has given the generals on both sides
plausible. reasons for maintaining large
armies despite the absence of any real
fighting. These armies are China's big
danger. Most Of the soldiers have not
been paid for many months and cannot
be disbanded until the arrears are paid.
Tho prospect OF such a settlement seems
distant The life OF ease which tho
soldiers have lived in the army Is ex-
nected TO have It's bad effects. and set
Ting them down to hard work will be
difficult.
These conditions have had their effect
upon tho Central Government. II Is
weak and badly In need OF funds. Mr..
Condict met several persons we'll versed
In Chinese affairs who looked for changes
in the administration before many
months.
Mr.. Condict discounts the often ex-
pressed idea of China becoming Bolshe-
visit. There have been some border out
breaks he stated, but the general char
acter of the people is not conducive to a
foothold for any government with Soviet
tendencies.
The reports of famine conditions In
China are absolutely true. Mr.. Condict
reports. He went through the Province
of Shantung in october. At that time
the Government was endeavoring TO re-
lieve the impending food shortage by
moving numbers of the natives to other
sections OF the country, but Its facilities
were wholly inadequate. The agitation
that was started before starvation actu-
ally set is has prevented much higher
death rate than would have otherwise
occurred. "Unless the world takes steps
10 supply material aid at once" Mr..
Condict said, 'the loss OF life Is bound
to be tremendous"

TRADE NEAR STANDSTILL
Silk Industry and Others Ask

ing Up Markets.
TRADE NEAR STANDSTILL

Business conditions in China and Ja-
pan are showing steady depression,
according TO p. k Condict, vice-presi-
dent of the International Western Elec-
tric Company. who has just returned
from visit to the company's organiza-
tons In the Far East. The drop in
silver and the consequent curtailment
Of exports have brought the business
boom which prevailed In China last year
almost to an end; while Japan is paying
In badly Debated values for the wave Of
speculation which swept over the coun-
try during the prosperous years of the
war and until March, 1920.
At the present time Japanese COM
mcrce Is almost at a standstill. Us
warehouses are filled with high priced
merchandise II is most difficult to dis
pose Of The loss represented runs into
very large figures and is heavy strain
upon the banks.
Government aid was requested by the
silk industry to keep the bottom from
FALLING out of its market. Several other
industries have followed suit In asking
state protection. A large amount has
been set aside to help the silk business.
Several economic experts have questioned
this policy Of the Japanese Government
In furnishing aid to maintain high price
levels and are In favor Of letting mat
ters take tho natural course Of read
justrnent
Depends Upon Conditions Here.
Because Of the close business relation
ship between the United States and
Japan 1t appears that no definite i'm
provement can be anticipated In Japan
ese business until conditions here reach
a sounder basis. The Importance which
exports to the United States and the
market here play In the business world
Of Japan directly affects this economic
condition. During the last fiscal year
America imported from Japan s527 900 900
worth OF merchandise, compared with
$463,00O.0o0 sold to the Japanese. All OF
this trade has fallen off to a marked
degree during the last six months. Amer
lean imports OF tea and silk especially.
have taken big drop.
The marked deflation of prices in
japan Is attributed to the heavy specu-
lation during the prosperous past. Spec
ulation forced the prices up to levels
SURPRISING those in other countries.
Mr.. Condict found the Japanese Mill
tary party losing strength. The agita-
tion over the California land question
and the steps this country Is taking to
maintain its naval strength, however,
have given the Japanese militarists
grounds for continuing their propa-
ganda and efforts for Increased appro-
priations. The popular feeling against
the maintenance of a huge army was
reflected recently in the adoption OF less
stringent conscription regulations.
Important changes have been sug-
gested In the Japanese suffrage laws.
II adopted at the Diet next month the
laws will make manhood suffrage al
most universal. Under the proposed
laws all mature males who pay an an
nual income tax TO the Government of
$3.50 will be permitted TO vote.

William C. Redfield, Secretary of
Commerce in the Wilson administra-
tion, is the latest expert on Russian
troubles to offer advice to President
Harding. He thinks a special COM
mission ought to be appointed to look
after Russian relief. and believes that
the relief forces now carrying aid into
the country are totally inadequate to
handle the famine situation. Maybe
Mr.. Redfield is right, but his assump-
tion that it is up to the United States
to feed the teeming millions of Russia
ought to be somewhat revised. The
United States is sending many thou
sands of tons of foodstuffs to the
hungry Russians, and is doing about
all that could reasonably be expected
of it.
