VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Women do a lot of funny stunts
when it comes to wearing apparel, but
we can’t accuse any of them of wear
ing goatees or chewing plug tobacco.—
Seward Gateway.
There are no days just like Juneau’s
good ones. When the sun shines out
upon this little section of the universe
we have the best of it over the rest of
the earth. A sunshiny day in Juneau
is indeed “a perfect day.”—Juneau
Gleam.
It would seem that millionaires are
in a competitive race to see who can
bring the swellest yacht to Alaska.
We won’t kick about the swellness of
their boats as long as they don’t throw
any empty champagne bottles through
the portholes to tease us.—Douglas

GREATBRITAIN
MUST CUT OUT
ALL LUXURIES
LONDON, July 1 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Prophecy that
the price of food next winter will
“climb to a level never dreamed of”
was uttered by Sir Auckland Geddes,
the British minister of reconstruction,
in an address at Crewe recently.
A member of the audience shouted,
“More wages.” Sir Auckland replied
that there would be no money to pay
wages, because it would have to go
overseas for food.
The minister warned the public that
it was squandering its money in a co
lossal way on things that did not mat
ter. “You can not live like million
aires,” he said, “if you are as poor
as a church mouse. This nation is
now poor. It is livinig as if it were
wealthy.”
More beer was being brewed in
Great Britain than ever, he said, yet
people complained of a shortage. This
he attributed to a doubling of the
amount of beer consumed because,
since the war, there was more time
to drink it in and more money to
pay for it.
By sending overseas for beer, silk
for stockings and feathers for hats,
Sir Auckland said, the people were in
creasing Britain’s debt for things that
did not matter. “What you ought to
get are food and raw maerials,” he
declared.
Sir Auckland denounced the limita
tion of output as “stark, staring lu
nacy.” The mill owners, he said, lim
ited output to obtain higher prices and
the operators limited it to make work
for more people.
BUSINESS METHODS OF
GERMANS ARE IN FAVOR
IN SOUTH AMERICA
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, June 15
(Correspondence of Associated Press).
—Whatever else the Brazilians may
think of the German, they have a
strong liking for the business meth
ods of the German representatives
formerly in Berlin. Pattern after the
German if you would be successful in
dealing with the Brazilian merchants
is the advice Brazilians give to North
Americans seeking to establish com
mercial connections held by European
business houses before the war.
It is not from a desire to criticize
but more from a spirit of symathy and
helpfulness that Brazilians offer this
advice.
One local merchant says the Ger
man devoted all his efforts to pleasing
the customer. He learned the native
language, catered to the likes, whims
and eccentricities of the buyer. He
did not try to convince the customer
that he did not know his business or
that the people did not know the
styles. Instead he ordered from
Europe exactly what the merchant re
quested, and when the shipment ar
rived he was on hand to see that it
was right or to make it satisfactory.
In contrast to this the Brazilian mer
chants tell of many North American
trying to sell them something they do
not want, trying to convince the Bra
zilian that he does no know his own
market, or even taking his order and
then sending something entirely dif
ferent. The story is told of one Bra
zilian ordering a number of black
horses from North America and re
ceiving all white.
Generally the Brazilians are sympa
thetic toward the incoming North
Americans. But if they are coming
into the field to stay it is felt that they
should learn to play the game accord
ing to local rules—please the man who
is doing the buying and who in turn
must please the people in order to
dispose of his goods.
YOKOHAMA’S* BIGTRADE
WITH UNITED STATES
YOKOHAMA, June 15 (by mail).—
One-half of all the foreign trade
through this port last year was in buy
ing from or selling to the United
States, says the Yokohama Chamber
of Commerce. It adds that less than
5 per cent of all this trade was car
ried in American vessels.
The total of the business between
the United States and this port in that
year was $250,000,000. Exports to
America were wice the value of the
imports.
