REPORT GAINS IN
FAR EAST TRADE
rs Per Cent Increase Noted
Over Last Year

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-Figures
released by the Far Eastern division
OF the department OF commerce Ind.
cate that our total trade with tho
Far East during the first nine
months OF this year shows an in
crease OF more than 25 per cent over
the samo period OF last year. in spite
OF unsettled conditions In China.
Tho Far East now accounts for
about 20 per cent OF our total trade.
compared with only ~ per cent 10
years ago. Modern transportation
facilities are rapidly bringing tho
Orient TO our door. and without doubt
we shall witness a trade development
during the next decade that viii out.
strip tho record Of the last 10 yeara..
In which this trade increased thre<
fold.
In the full calendar year 1919 we
took from the Far East commodities,
mainly crude, valued at only 1914.
07s.21s. while during the first nina
months Of the present year our i'm.
ports from that section aggregated
1896. 800, GIL.
Our exports 10 the Far East, which
consist largely OF manufactured prod
ucts. have shown similar growth
during the same period. increasing
from 1874. 15e, 1865 during the full year
Of 1913. to SAP, $50. 490 for the first
nine months OF 1929. The Increased
purchasing power OF the peoples oe
the Orient. which has raised their
standard OF living. coupled with tho
industrial movements In Japan and
India. haye combined 10 cause this
increased consumption OF our manu-
featured products and machinery.
All the principal Far Eastern coun-
tries with the exception OF China and
British India took more goods from
the United States during the first
threc-quarters OF 1923 than during
the corresponding period OF 1922,
while their exports to US were great.
er in every instance.
Japan. which heads the list Of our
Ear Eastern customers, took
goods valued at S1s3. 400,565 during
the first nine months OF 1923, COM
pared with sl55.127 SOB during tho
same period OF 1922. During the
month OF September our exports TO
Japan were almost $40 900 900 greater
than during the same month La
year. This was accounted for large
ly by emergency supplies TO relieve
suffering in the devastated region
and speculative purchases. which
have since subsidized. pending an an.
nouncement OF the governments re-
construction policy.
In spite Of the temporary dlsor-
ganization Of foreign trade agencies
in Japan during September, the
value Of our imports from that coun.
try showed no decline.
