THE JAP’S WILY WAYS
m _ i
The industrial representatives of
Japan have been the most active of
those of any nation in obtaining in
formation as to American methods
and the extent of American produc
tion of all kinds. Do American pro
ducers appreciate that their own rep
resentatives, or the official represen
tatives of the United States Govern
ment, cannot enter any plant in Japan
for the purpose of investigating
methods of production or conditions
governing different plants? Some
years ago, the American Protective
Tariff League sent to Japan a repre
sentative who was duly accredited by
the United States Government. After
long and patient efforts he was able
to inspect but one plant, and he se
cured access to this plant because it
was temporarily in the hands of an
Englsh manager who was about to re
tire.
On the contrary, representatives of
alleged chambers of commerce and of
different industries, particularly silk,
and also accredited representatives
of the. Japanese Government come to
the United States. They are enter
tained; they are given every facility
for the inspection of plants, the meth
ods of manufacture, etc., and go back
home to introduce improvements in
their machinery and in all elements
of production, thus simply adding the
American experience to Japanese
copying process to compete in the
American market. To illustrate—
take the silk trade. A few days ago
we noticed that raw silk was quoted
at $13.50 a pound, which in 1913 was
$4.50 a pound. Expert Japanese come
over here, were entertained by Amer-"
ican hospitality; they were shown the
extent of our silk mills and could
therefore judge of the volume of raw
silk required and immediately cabled
home to advance prices. Japan now
controls the American raw silk mar
ket. American producers and manu
facturers should keep their own infor-1
uaation for American consumption.
A few American manufacturers are
beginning to wake up on this question.
A short time ago a duly acredited
commission from France was here and
▼•'as given exceptional facility for the
inspection of mills throughout the
country. One of the most prominent
American manufacturers notified the
commission which was duly acredited
by Mr. Wlison’s Secretary of State
that he would not under any circum
stances allow any foreign committee
or commission or individual to inspect
his factory methods of production.
Eli Perkins once said to a writer:
l^et the other fellow do the talking;
if you do the talking and tell all you
know, the other fellow will know as
much as you do including what he
already knows.”
Be a clam to all foreigners.
SAVING MISS LIBERTY’S FACE
The silver dollar has become pre
cious again. As recently as 1915 the
real value, expressed in the market
price of the silver it contains, was 40
cents. Recently it has come pretty
close to the dollar mark. When sil
ver sells at $1,2929, the dollar is really
at par with the market. Our dimes,
quarters and half dollars contain still
less silver proportionately to face
value. Silver will have to go to
$1.3823 an ounce before their contents
are worth on the market as much as
their face.
If the price of silver rises beyond
the face value of coins, the coins are
melted and the populace has to re
sort to postage stamps or other make
• shifts. England has found the mar
ket price of silver getting so near
the point where it will be profitable
for people to melt down its coins
that it has placed an embargo upon
exports of silver. If the treasury sees
•
danger that our dimes and quarters
will disappear over night, using the
law under which it melted down some
millions of silver dollars and shipped
1 the bullion to India during the war,
it may sell silver on the market to
keep the price down.—*The Nation’s
Business.
Already we hear murmurings of an
economy ticket for the councilmanic
election in April.
There is every indication that ter
ritorial politics will bring out a large
vote at the coming primaries.
The Parent-Teachers’ Association,
which is in process of formation here,
will do much toward promoting more
interest in the local schools, which is
as it Should be.
Thus far this winter the weather
has certainly been all that could be
desired by Alaskans, who escaped
the severe storms and cold weather
experienced in the States.
“Wilson says what he thinks,”
gushes a Western Democratic admirer.
Doubtless. He is certainly not saying
what the American taxpayers think.
At least, not in polite society.
Starting its anti-tobacco campaign,
the W. C. T. U. proclaims its inten
tion of fighting in the open and aban
doning the “guerrilla” warfare of the
last few years. From which we judge
there are some tricks of the Anti
Saloon League of which even the W.
C. T. U. can’t approve.
