CHINA WANTS
TO GIVE TRADE
TO AMERICANS
i. -•
a
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17 (by As
sociated Press).—Japan has lost 90
per cent of her trade with China since
the imposition of the boycott on Jap
anese goods last May, according to
Mohan T. Y. Zi of Shanghai, delegate
of the Chinese General Chamber of
Commerce to the national foreign
trade convention to be held here in
May.
Commissioner Zi, a member of one
of the greatest importing and export^
ing houses in China, is making a tour
of leading American cities, and will re
turn here in time for the convention.
Speaking of Japan’s loss of the trade
it had built up with China during the
war, reaching a volume of hundreds
of millions of dollars, Commissioner
Zi told of the opportunities offered to
Americans. ' *
“As a condition precedent to this
great trade opportunity for America
in China, the primary considerations
are better cable facilities and more
ships,” he said. “American cotton ex
ports to China up to the time when
«ihis country entered the war approxi
mated $100,000,000. The great bulk of
this trade, immediately upon your px
ports stopping, was secured by Japan,
which, obtaining the raw product from
China, manufactured the cotton and
sent the finished product back for Chi
nese markets.
“Since the boycott, due to the Shan
tung situation, this great cotton mar
ket has been left practically open, and
one of my chief missions to this coun
try is to establish connections with
the big cotton exporters. China is
urgently in need of materials of hard
ware and of electrical equipment. In
the latter line Japanese products again
are suffering from the boycott and the
field is wide open.
'“While to the outside world the
trouble between Northern and South
ern China seems important, it has no
great bearing on the mercantile and
industrial life of China. These fac
tional differences are the product of
political groups seeking power.
“The automobile industry is capa
ble of tremendous development, as
the Chinese are very partial to Ameri
can motors of good modern style and
quality, and at the lowest price con
sis^nt with these qualifications.”
Chinese are also making strides in
the development of industries and
building up the manufactures of their
own country, Commissioner Zi said.
He also pointed out that American
business men made a mistake in deal
ing with compradores (native commis
sion merchants) .at Chinese ports,
rather than with Chinese importing
and exporting houses, who, better un
^ derstanding ' their problems, talking
the language of their clients, operated
more economically and efficiently m
behalf of foreign traders.

SUPPOSE
there were no churches in this city;
I no preachers, no moral restraining
| force that the churches quietly exer
cise, no Sunday schools, no instruc
tion of children in righteousness, no
presentation of divine authority. The
situation is unthinkable, but if the
churches had only such support as
you give—time and money—would
they persist? Take another look at
the things you esteem greatest in life.
The organized churches need the sup
port of every man and woman in this
city and valley. Won’t you go to the
church of your choice Sunday? We
want you to help us build a more ef
fective church in this community.
