Action Urged to
Expand Trade With
Dutch East Indies
Americans Should Establish
Import Concerns There
And Give Longer Credit,
Is View Of u. s. Consul

Longer credits and moro liberal
terms must be given if the United
States is to hold its position in the
import trade of the Dutch East Indies,
says report made by ViceConsul
Horace Remillard, at Batavia.
Irrevocable credit, he points out,
was required during the war in antici-
patton of the sharp decline in the price
Of manufactured articles, sure to 9ol-
low the cessation of hostilities. Now
this circumstance no longer exists,
and German, British and Dutch COM
petition is in the field with tempting
offers based on a wider and freer
credit
The bulk OF the American trade With
the Dutch East Indies during the last
few years, it is stated, is the result
Of enforced circumstances growing out
Of the war, the United States being
one Of the few countries capable of
either receiving or supplying merchan-
disc.
"If the trade acquired is to be con-
served" says the report, large Amer
lean importing concerns. preferably
working in conjunction with Dutch
capital, should be established rather
than represented in the Dutch East
Indies. 1t is believed that various
American manufacturers could combine
to work in common, pool expenses, and
open Offices in the colony. At present
large part of the American trade is
in long range correspondence, which is
slow and unsatisfactory.
practically all otner countries, even
those European nations with compara-
lively smaller interests, are all repre-
sented by large importing and export
ing companies, which are in direct
touch with the consumers.~ 1t is also
worthy. of note that. with the excep-
ton of rubber, there are practically
no large American plantation invest
ments in the colony. although the sub
stantial returns of recent years would
appear to warrant such investment
Two most encouraging features
have been the opening Of two Ameri-
can banks in Batavia and Surabaya,
and the practical assurance Of direct
and regular steamer connection be-
tween the Dutch East Indian Archi-
pelago and the United States under the
American flag"
The latest year for which official
statistics Of the trade Of the Dutch East
Indies are available is 1918. In that
year great handicaps were cncoun-
tered, including the requisitioning Of
the Dutch ships, prohibition of ex-
portation except by government
license, high freight rates and the i'm
port restrictions Of allied countries
AS result there was a substantial
decline in the quantity and value Of
nearly every important article of
trade exported to the United States
from the Dutch East Indies, except
cocoanut oil, tea and sugar. Out Of a
total expectation valued at S273 3,0O0,O0O
the exports to the United States rep
resented S62,000,0OO.

Their speed on trial will be lIa* krots.
A novel feature of these vessels IS that

Standard Oil Now
Adding IL Vessels
To Its Trade Fleet
New Jersey Company Will
Secure 225,OOO Tons in
Near Future; Ships Have
Many Original Features

The Standard Oil Company Of New
Jersey is enlarging its feet, already
the largest privately owned one under
the American flag, by the construction
OF vessels in six Of the leading Ameri-
can shipyards. Seventeen ships con-
tracted for have an aggregate tonnage
in excess of 225,oOo tons deadweight.
They are being built in four yards on
the Atlantic sesboard and two on the
Pacific Coast.
Two OF the new vessels will be tho
largest tankers in the world, each If
20,300 tons deadweight They are to
beathe John D. Archbold and the Will
lam Rockefeller. and are building at
the yards of the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company, with
delivery dates tentatively fixed for
about August and October l next
Each of these tankers will be 572
feet long and 10 feet beam. Their
draft, loaded, will be so feet. They
will be driven by twln-screw, triple
expansion engines, with Scotch boilers,
end will have speed o. .0a knots. Il
is stated by The Lamp, published by
the Standard Oil Company Of New Jar
sey, that not only will these oil car
riers set a new record for size, but
they will embody a number Of radical
departures from established practice,
made possible by developing a design
for one particular trade only, namely,
for bringing Mexican crude oil 70

MANILA, Jan. 7.-American members

dent.
to the judiciary bill. empowering the
Governor General and the Senate TO
transfer judges from one district to
another when the good Of the service
required such changes
Let me say here that I have no
faith in the Supreme Court as con-
stiluted at present" Quezon declared
How can we have faith in justices
like f. Finley johnson and George A.

held that the Governor General has

Disasters ON Great Lakes
Greatly Reduced in 1920

DETROIT, Jan. 7.-Marked reduc-
ton in the number of marine disasters
on the Great Lakes during the 1920
season, compared with 1919, is shown
in the records Of shipping companies
here. During 1920 there were eight
vessel losses and twenty-nine lives lost:
against nineteen vessel losses and
The twentynine persons who lost
their lives last year perished when the
steamer Superior City sank in Lake
Superior off Whtetish Point. This oc-
Cured on the night OF August 20. after
collision with the steamer Willis L.
King.
The collision is said to have been due
to a fog. The Superior City sank so
quickly after the collision it was i'm
possible to launch boats, according to
the stories Of four survivors. One Of
those lost was a woman, wife Of the
second engineer.
Other vessel losses in 1920 were the
Mary A. McGregor, fire; the j. II.
Shrigley, abandoned; the Marion, fire;
the Sarnon, sprank leak; the Mary
Woolson, watcrlogged; the Miztec,
abandoned, and the Francis J. Widlar,
driven on rocks.
The sinking Of the Widlar furnished
one Of the most dramatic pages in the
history of Great Lakes disasters, al
though no lives were lost. The ship
was driven on the orcks near Whitetish
Point during a storm that swept the
upper lakes in November. Captain
Arthur Forbes, Of Ashtabula, Ohio, in
command of the Widlsr, set out in a
small boat with few men for the
channel to bring help to the stranded
crew. The party reached the channel
after battling the waves for about ten
miles, and rescue ships went to the
wreck and saved all members Of the
crew. The Widlar has been abandoned
by her owners to the underwriters.

Ohio State Coach Regrets
Conference Controversy

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 7.-Rcgret that
controversy should arise among
members of the Western Conference
was expressed here to-day by Coac!,
John Wilce, Of the Ohio State Univer-
aity football team, after reading the
statement Of Coach John n. Richards,
of Wisconsin, intimatng that he would
resign if Ohio State is again placed on
the Wisconsin schedule.
IL am sorry TO think that such n
thing as this had to come up in the
Big Ten Conference from Il conference
COACH" said Wilce, mot only because
it is an attempted slam at Obi, State
University, but also because 1t tends 20
throw bad light on great organiza
tlon and miginform the general public
in regard to the high. clean spirit of
sportsmanship that exists among uni
vcrsitcs, athletic directors, coaches
and players In the Western Confer
