Challenge to British in India

lies in the establishment Of factory
branches, the sending Of American
salesmen, or in the backing OF new
local firms started by the younger
generation Of India. OF course, in
many American lines that have no di-
rect competitive foreign opposition
and there are many such American
speciality lines-very good connec-
tions can be made with the old es-
tablished British houses.
Taking up the other comment that
is often made in a discussion Of
American trade with India, Mr. Lund-
quist challenges the supposition that
the people cannot afford to buy Amer
ican products. 1t must be remem-
more than three times as many people
as there are in the United States. and
that of this vast number at least
a small percentage has the purchas-
ing power of the well-to-do Ameri-
cans. In considering this feature Of
the Indian market due weight must
be given to the fact that the standard
of living of the masses is rising and
that more and more imported goods
will be demanded by the Indian popu-
lation.
India has practically monopoly OF
the worlds supply of raw jute fiber.
Whereas, normally. Il great deal of
the jute spinning and weaving of
the world is done In Scotland and
growing tendency to extend the
manufacturing processes carried on in
India. Where in the past in many
instances the raw fiber or Jute yarn
was exported, the practice Is more
and moro to spin the yarn or to
weave it into burlap in India.
Among the railways the tendency is
toward making UP locally many OF
the small items used in volume which
formerly were imported, and much OF
the work on rolling stock is now
done in the local shops, whereas the
practice formerly was to bring In
everything from abroad complete.
This means that the American pre-
pairing to do business in India must
study to take advantage Of changing
conditions which open up q way FOR
greater participation by American
interests and TO anticipate rs far as
Not only as a market for electrical
trade, India is receiving intensive

What might be taken as a direct
defiance Of the federal government is
contained in the strike order issued
by the brotherhoods chiefs, the men
being told that they have the same
right to refuse to perform service on a
mail train as they have to refuse serv-
ice on freight train. That this in
depreciation of the law is not likely to

last night by Attorney General
Daugherty that when that question
is considered they will find serious
doubt about their position
While it probably is true that there
is no law under which unwilling men
could be required TO operate mail
trains, it certainly is clear that any
attempt by them to interfere with the
operation of such trains by others
would bring them into conflict with
he federal authorities. During the
presidency of Grover Cleveland the

The St. Louis Committee Meeting.

The meeting Of the democratic na-
tionai committee at st. Louis will not,
Of course, attract a crowd, but will at
tract wide attention. Every feature Of
the proceedings will be examined for
a possible bearing on 1924.
This for the reason that control Of
the committee is much desired by
some Of the friends Of former Secre-
tary McAdoo. Their effort to displace
Chairman White last winter. failed.
But, as is understood, they have not
abandoned their purpose. Whether
they will renew it at ST. Louis is a
question.
Chairman White, his friends say, is
not enamored Of his office. He took it
with reluctance. and only because of
personal friendship for Gov. Cox. But.
naturally, he resents the movement to
force him out. He intends to stick, if
sticking is possible. and he thinks 1t is.
This movement has excited some
surprise, and here and there express
sion is given to the feeling by men
who admire Mr.. McAdoo. They find
It difficult to associate what they con-
slider overzeal with a politician Of his
shrewdness and capacity, or with his
first lieutenant, Mr.. Baruch, another
shrewd and capable politician Of the
New York school. They cannot see
any advantage in displacins Chairman
White at this time, or at any time
prior to the holding Of the next ma
tional convention.
As these men view the matter, the
stir and feeling aroused by such an
act would initiate against the Nc
Adoo boom. The boom seems to be in
good condition now, and sailing along
we'll. Why take chances of creating
difficulties for it? Why at this stage
Of the game make a definite gesture
against anybody?. -
It is not charged that Chairman
White Is using his place to advance
the interests Of Gov. Cox or of any
one in connection with the democ-
racy's next presidential nomination.
He is keeping his eye on the game, but
only in the way and for the purpose
of improving every opportunity to
serve the party.
