Japanese action. The indirect
cause is the fact that Japan Is
small and her people mighty. Sew
enty million people live IN Japan
proper, an area no larger than New
York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Ohio combined.
Until 1853, when Commodore
Perry Of the United States Navy
sailed TO Japan with a squadron
OF warships Japan had little con-
tact. with the outside woodland
wanted less. Japan was old, with a
civilization and culture Of her cwn.
Western gimcracks and mechanics
and civilization interested her not
ct all.
But the United States. with Com
modore Perry as diplomat. con-
cluded q commercial treaty with
Japan In 1855.
Eighty years later its statesmen.
its own mechanics, its own GIN
cracks are everywhere the sun, the
symbol Ct the empire, shines. The
United States. which opened up
Japan as q market for American
goods has had 10 raise tariff bar
riers against floods OF japanese
goods. Other nations have faced
The same predicament.
In consequence. Japans trade
expansion, seemingly with limit
less possibilities. has been curtail-
cd as far as the western world Is
concerned. Japan, more and more
In the last 20 years. has appraised
the possibilities of trade expansion
10 the Far East. China. n OF the
worlds greatest potential markets,
lies right at Japan'S front door.
Every other trading nation wants
20 delve into that Chinese bust
ness. and that leads TO the second
and direct cause Of the japanese
action.
This Ia the "hands-off China
policy adopted IN rebuttal 70 the
attitude Of soviet Russia and 70
the commercial programs OF many
European nations.
The direct cause Of the Slno-
Japanese controversy will be de-
scribed in an article Wednesday.

Prices continued 10 push up here

was unusually selective, and many
OF the recent leaders. notably in
steels and motors. were al but neg
lected. Brokers said sentiment was
still predominantly bullish. but the
recent advance had been SO steep as
to inspire caution. In other mar
kets, bonds were little better than
steady. cotton a trifle higher. and
wheat about unchanged by early
afternoon.

Dividend news continued to brace
the market. Coincident with buying

COTTON STEADY
BUT NARROW

NEW YORK, May 7. G.N.S).
Light trading and a narrow price
range again characterized the
cotton market today. Despite the
sale of number of July, october
and March contracts shortly
after the opening by interests
which have been consistent buy
ers lately, the market held steady.
The customary alignment
shifted today as Far Eastern,
Continental and local accounts,
the first two of which have fol-
lowed the market upward, ap-
parently decided to take gains.
The South also continued a seller.
Spot houses and wire houses
joined the trade in support of
the market, particularly in the
old crop months which were
shaken out yesterday.
In Liverpool the May and July
contracts were firm and higher
than due while the later months
were quoted at lower than due
prices.
Toward noon May was quoted
at 1172 off 2, July 11.74 off /,
October 1149 unchanged and
, December 11.55 unchanged.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-05-07

got production.
The automobile industry has
probably passed its seasonal peak,
and the output of cars actually
declined a little last week. Posi-.
bly, the Chevrolet strike had some.
thing to do with this. One item
in the news indicates that this
strike is now on the way to settle
ment, but total production is
likely to decline from now on,
Cotton textile production has
also receded further. Meat pack
ing has been affected by high
prices. and as livestock receipts
have declined, unemployment in
that industry has grown.
The high spots are tin plate,
and farm implement manufactur.
ing. Lumber orders, too, have
gained, and this fact tends to
substantiate talk of some improve
ment in building activity.
Railway CarloadingS, however,
showed a sharp decline, and were
10 per cent below a year ago.
The volume of railway shipments
is not much above the same
periods in 1882 and 1898.
Wholesale prices receded a
little last week. Grains, flour.
butter, sugar, rubber, lumber,
and silver were lower. (Bene-
fetal rains improved the crop
outlook somewhat. Gasoline
and tin advanced, however, and
cotton was a trifle higher.
1t is significant that despite
all the long depression, curtail-
ment. restriction, and drought,
one finds SO few cases of COM
mondity shortages and so many
cases of large stocks. This
shows the result of artificial
price maintenance. 1t is one of
the reasons why initiation is SO
slow in taking hold"
The break between Mr.. Roose-
welt and the business leaders was
a high spot in last weeks news.
I think it was a mistake on the
Presidents part to try to discredlt
business men in this matter. Per
sonally, I find no evidence to
Justify the claim that the average
business man is not opposed TO
the New Deal policies.
AS a matter of fact, it is clear
that it was the leaders who
tried to soft pedal the criticisms
made by the rank and file, and
that the great majority of the
Chamber of Commerce would
have said much more drastic
things than appeared in the Of
ficial resolutions.
