SHANGHAI, April 9, (By Mall)—
That the silk industry of China is
suffering for want of governmental
direction and assistance and that
such should be forthcoming at an
early date, is the substance of a
resolution adopted by the members of
the Foreign Silk Association at a re
cent general meeting in Shangai,
In view of the large amount con
tributed by the silk industry in taxes,
such aid should be of a substantial
character in the opinion of silk deal
ers, and the government is being
apjwaied to in that sense,
E. C. Byrne, chairman of the For
eign Silk Association, presided and
was supported by M. Knight, the
French commercial attache; Julean
Arnold, American commercial at
tache; M. Muller; M. Madier, presi
dent of the French Chamber of Com
merce, and many others.
The chairman in his address cited
| figures to illustrate the value of
| government supervision of the indus
try aB projected by Japan. During the
season 1907-8, he said Japan exported
S3,110 bales against 57,553 bales ex
porxea irom tsnangnat. For the sea
son 1916-7 Japan’s export was 226,
569 bales against 65,847 from Shang
hai, China.
“From these figures,” said Mr.
Byrne, “you will see that we have
made but little headway while Japan
on the other hand has gone forward
enormously, and i am not including
silk piece goods of which China’s
export is negligible in comparison
with Japan.
“Not only Japan, but practically
all other silk producing nations,” he
continued, “have their government’s
guiding hands in sericulture. Natur
ally it will occur to us all, why
should we foreigners and Chinese put
1 our hands in our pockets to find
funds that the Chinese government
should provide?”
Outlining plans for the coming
year for improvement of the industry,
the speaker said:
“The schemes we have in view
naturally depend on the funds pro
vided, but they will follow on the
lines that have been successful in
other countries. This year we pro
pose to assist and advise those ex
perimental stations that are already
in existence, and to buy cocoons and
examine the eggs on the Pasteur
system by which in 1919 we shall
have a supply that can be guaranteed
to be healthy and provide worms that
will not die in the third or fourth
stages, but will live to produce co
coons of good size and quality. The
committee in charge consists of
representatives of the Chinese, the
French Chamber of Commerce and
the Silk Association and you may de
pend no effort will be spared to
make the initial attempt a success
and set an example for the future.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, May 1—
i Steamships and schooners with suf
ficient carrying capacity for carrying
130,000 bags of sugar have been dis
patched from Porto Rico to the
United States in ballast or else sent
to Cuba for cargoes of sugar within
a little more than one month when
there have been ample sugar cargos
offered here, according to shipping
men.
Sugar men who are not moving
their crops as. rapidly as they wash
say that ships are not permitted to
obtain cargo in Porto Rico because
the allotment of space for sugar
in the West Indies Is largely con
trolled by representatives of steam
ship companies doing tusiness here.
Nineteen steamers took sugar from
i
Porto Rico to the United States dur
'
ing March, carrying a total of ap
proximately 400,000 bags. Shipments
are apprixlmately 36,000 tons behind
the shipments of the same time last
year.
