been no gem rul demand for a do- I

of change in this respect would
doubtless be unpopular. The United
Slates permits claims to be located
and held, however, only upon condi
tion that work to a certain amount is
done upon them. This is equivalent

AMERICA LOSES
TO JAPANESE IN
COMMERCE
I
—
I
Mr. Julean Arnold, American com
mercial attache, accredited to Japan,
has returned to this coumry to tell us
■about trade conditions in the Orient.
We shall be glad to learn why it is
that Japan has increased her exports
to the United States from $32,000,000
in 191S, under our protective tariff, u
$148,000,000 In 1916, under democratic
free trade, while our exports to hei
have increased from $5S,UOO,OoO In
1913, to only $75,000,000 in 1916. In
asmuch as "He ki.pt us out of war,'
iTosiimablv tilings Japan sent us
were peace products. Inasmuch as
Japan is in a state of war, und is
manufacturing enormous quantities ot
war material for Itussia, It is fair to
assume that a large percentage of
our exports to her during 1916 con
sisted of war products. We cannot
keep up our war-order business with
Japun forever, but, under the pres
ent tariff. law, Japan can increase the
value of her peace exportation to us.
Possibly Mr. Arnold may also ex
plain to us why it is thut a oouole
of years ago the Unit'd States con
trolled 21 per cent of the Pacific
oocean freight carrying business, and
japan controlled 33 por cent, while
today tho United States controls 2 j
per cent., and Japan controls 65 per ,
cent.
Wo have for soma time suspectod
that the Wilson-Underwood near
free-Uade Uuiff law aud the surrep
titiously enacted seamen's law had
something to do with those condi
tions. but If Mr. Arohld takes his
cue from Secretary Redfleld he will
present an altogether different reason, j
