Problem of Adaptation

This business of adapting Americas
goods to the peculiar conditions and
taste of the japanese public has many
unexpected kinks and twists. The JAP
anese, especially the male half Of the
younger generation, is adopting foreign
! style clothes more and more. And
American shoes are being imported in
quantity. Now, shoes are removed
| every time one enters a purely Japan
csc house and steps on its immaculate
and soft matted floor. The American
shoes which would find favor with tbs
Japanese customers must be Therefore
and put on easily. Hence a great de-
mand for that obsolete type Of foot.
wear with elastic sides known as
Congress shoes. No amount of argu.
ment on the most stylish appearances
of high-top lace shoes which are all
the vogue in this country would carry
the day in Jauan.
This is a wee straw on the broad
current of international trade, but its
moral cannot be ignored, for it happens
to show one of its fundamentals. Its
lessons are more precious to the
American merchantsothan to any Others.
For America has for so long had all
she could do to supply the hoe demands
that she has got the habit Of taking
everything in connection with exports
as soothing of an afterthought.
ats velvet" is the first thought in
connection with export trade. The
gri fact of the matter is that the profit
from foreign trade is anything but
velvet" There the merchant is ex-
pected to squeeze profit out of the
stony soil of international competition
with nothing remotely resembling the
high protective tariff shielding him
from cold, cold trade winds which blow
from the four corners of the earth.

Surveying the Market

Even before he makes an analytical
study of the Japanese press the Ameri-
can exporter should have a careful sur
Wy made of the Japanese market in
reference to the particular goods he
wishes to introduce. If he can do this
himself at first hand, so much the bet
ter. Even in that case, however, he
should command the services of an
experienced and competent person in
making the preliminary survey of the
promise Of the field. For in Japan, as
in so many foreign fields, that
over-advertised cure-all called COM
mon sense alone often fails to work
out his commercial salvation. A
good story is going the rounds now
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1922-10-01


In the Japan Of 1922 this is pre- emf
nently the right channel, if the particu-
lar ware he wishes to introduce into
the favor Of his Japanese customer is
something with an appeal to millions
and comes within their purchasing
power.
According to the figures Of the De-
partment of the Interior of the Jap
anese government, there are in Japan
more than $3.50 newspapers and maya
zines, of which at least $50 are dailies
of more or less pretensions. The State
Of California has not more than 140
dailies, and the state Is larger in size
than Japan proper, although, Of course,

Relation to Preparations
mo Cure Ais Expected
Thomas W. Lamont to Treat
WorIG Finance From an
American Point of View

N1E IoTty-elSIAH aHnual con"
vention of the American
a. Bankers Association, which
opens here tomorrow to continue
five days is not expected to arrive at
any cure-all formulas for the pallia-
ton Of the economic and financial
ills of the world. That will not be
the spirit of the meetings. But, the
officers of the association and the
seven thousand delegates, represent
ing banking institutions all over the
country, do expect to focus the at
tention of the financial community
and the public upon the basic factors
of current economic problems by
sharpening the points of those prob
lens.
The bankers helieve that these prob
lens, now more cofplex than ever in
history, can be solved only through
the pressure of sound and enlight-
ened public opinion. In the last analy-
sis, the future economic structure of
America and the world depends on
what "Bill Jones" and "Mary Smith"
think and want. And it is one of the
purposes of the convention to indicate
to "Bill oJnes" and "Mary Smith" the
lines Of sound economic thought. Of
course, any unanimity of opinion as to
what are the lines of sound economic
thought is impossible, but the. bankers
at least expect to dissolve some of the
fog which has enveloped economic
questions.
Ceeting the Facts
This great unofficial congress of the
financial specialists of the country
will proceed on the axiom that accu-
rate information is tho foundation
structive action must be built. Such
information will be furnished to the
convention by world recognized ex-
perts, and will be discussed by the
delegates, so many of whom have
studied international conditions at
first hand, and can no longer be ac-
cused Of narrow provincialism. Thou
sands of bankers have visited Europe
in the last few years with the idea of
getting the European point of view
and studying her problems from an
American poitn of view. All, perhaps,
have not arrived at the same conclu-
sions as to our relation to Europe, but
a free interchange of opinion and ex-
perience will help to determine the
facts of teh case, and no conclusions
or proper action can be valid without
a basis Of fact.
Nor will such discussion represent
primarily the so-called big financial in
terests, because the American Bankers
Association includes in its membership
the small town mank as well as the
most powerful institutions in the coun-
try. The welfare of its members is
bound up with the wellbeing of every
phase of productive and commercial
activity. The association is a cross
section of the business life of the ma
tions. Some banks cannot prosper un-
less agriculture prospers some have
their bases in mining activity; others
depend to large extent upon the de-
posts of labor's savings, and so on.
And the welfare Of each is depndent
upon the general prosperity of the
country.
