WORLD TRADE.
Since the beginning of the war,
Japan has erected new iron works
which have proved inadequate to
handle its growing trade demands
and since the beginning of the year,
steel works valued at ten millions
at one place and twenty millions In
another location have been built
up.
Not a pound of that material has
been furnished by any outside na
tion than from Asia. The ore, the
machienry, the management, the
labor all are Asiatic. The steel
works are turning out machine,
structural and railroad steel in such
abundance that all competition is
defied.
In addition the new plants are
models of efficiency. Not a cubic
foot of gas that can be utilized foi
power is wasted, not an ounce of
soot is allowed to wander tainting |
the atmosphere and unused, not a
kilowatt of electricity, not a thermal
unit of heat but is put to strictly
productive uses.
Real safety first doctrines
prevail. Accidents have been
eliminated per thousand to
the third decimal point; the
taro of the workers is not prompt
ed by philanthropy but lest the
physique of future fighting or pro
ducing men be impaired.
A system prevails half govern
mental, half privately owned, but all
controlled by Japan that is not seen
anywhere else. It is said to defy
any sort of competition.
Last year Japan found itself with
out any antimonv and without any
tungsten. Now it has more anti
mony that it can use and is actu
ally exporting tungsten. Every
pound has been acquired in Asiatic
oil and every ounce reduced in
Japan.
Critics say that Japan will domi
nate every Asiatic market and that
only those countries which reduce
manufacturing to Japanese terms
will be able to compete against it.
Moreover, what is being done in
the steel industry is being done
also in the other industries and
there is no line in which Japan is
behind. Japan Is now supplying
China and India with dyes as good
as ever came from eGrmany. It
may soon have an excess produ tion
beyond its own needs for the United
States. It Is taking the chemical
trade away from Great Britain even
now in the east, and it is clear that
what it has it will hold.
Before this Japanese opposition
■what is the rest of the world going
to do? Will it reduce American la
bor to the coolie standard or will it
crush Japan by warring against it
before fit to take care of Itself? j
Those are the propositions which
American capital faces. Those pro
positions are both being carefully
considered.
There is of course another way
and that Is to eliminate the profit
factor altogether, and to make use
and human need and not profit the
supreme factor in production.
But capital never thinks of that.
PLAIN BUNK.
This is from the Iditarod Pioneer;
‘•Speaking of the charge that
‘‘the local papers dare not print the
facts” in regard to the large mining
mining companies’ participation in
the recent republican primaries at
Juneau, the Empire says: ‘‘At this
date the situation is one that does
not interest the Empire in the least,
nor is it one that should appeal to
any Alaskan who is flot looking for
office and whose only interest in po
litics is good government and pro
gressive development”. Pretty neat
side-stepping”.
It is a euphemism to call that side
stepping. That’s all Pocksnlfflan
bunk of tho first water.
Here is a mining company which
deliberately by its economic power
makes a farce of tho primary ana
secures the names of tho men it
wants elected for the convention,
and it can have no interest to this
sparkling disseminator of good gov
ernment theories!
We understand that the interest
of the Empire does not lie in the way
of giving such a political farce pub
licity. Hut the facts were of such
interest to tho people that every
newspaper in the territory comment
ed with wry face upon the events.
Maybe if those papers wore pub
lished in Juneau, and the mining
companies saw to it where their in
terest should lie—and that they
should hitch their Pegasus to a glit
tering star far far away called good
government and progressive devel
opment, they too would be oblivious
to the corrupting influences of these
noble companies, whose influence
in political matters is so elevating
and so up-lifting.
Side stepping? Well now!
I*.\I.\ED.
A recent paper interviewed John
D. Rockefeller who expressed much
pain at the manner in which his
philanthropies and his cocial work
were misinterpreted. There i3 consid
erable criticism of Rockefeller. Bui
3iieh criticism is only nominally per
sonal. Most of the criticism is or
should he directed against the
system of whihe he himself is such
an able exponent.
Everyone realizes that were Rocke
feller removed by the hand of death
from this Vale of Tears, the system
would continue distilling tho lach
rymal product that gives it its poeti.
name.
if Rockefeller had not been a
burning and a shining light in the
world of consolidated industry cal
led a trust, another would havj
done the same thing. Cecil Rhodes
established a diamond trust in
Africa although he never knew a
thing ot the methods of Standaro
Oil. But the trust would have form
ed of its own accord. It is the ma
terialization of an econmic fact, not
a pcrsotal fact. It adds to the effi
ciency of profit production if nos
of service. It reduces operating ex
penses and reduces the abstraction
of divided control and administration
to the concrete fact of centraliza
tion.
What the people dont like is the
fact that they are the parties fleec
ed, both as workers and consumers.
Away back in the distance they sef
John D. sitting, the spider in the
center of the web, and they blame
him for it all.
But spiders have to spin webs and
it is imma'erial whether John l>.
does or not. John D. might drop out
of the litte place he holds, and an
other guiding factor would take his
place tomorrow.
Ho gets his share of the profits
of the system and he can well bear
with the criticism. It is only a paper
criticism strictly within the “rule 01
reason” as prescribed by an enlight
ened Supreme Court,
As Hamlet told the queen, “they
do but jest, poison in jest no offen
se in the world”.
It’s the system of webbery and
carnivoracity of which Mr. Rocke
feller is so distinguished an expo
nent that the people object to in
stinctively. They really blame the
system, but their animadversions
quite naturally fall upon the person
who profits therefrom, even though
they would do exactly as he does, It
they got the chance.
