A REWARD TO THE ENTERPRIS
ING
It really looks as though there was
a heavenly protectorate thrown about
Valilez. Just as it is generally con
ceded that she will have no govern
ment railroad, for the present few
years at least, announcement is made
that the Alaska engineering com
mission will make its headquarters
at our neighboring city. And that
Will mean a lot to the enterprising
people of Valdez. Something is con
tinually developing to keep that town
in a fairly prosperous state. But it
doesn’t just happen. The people ov
er there are wide awake and are al
ways reaching out for everything in
sight, and many things out of sight.
As in this railroad ambition, through
an active commercial organization,
the people at Washington and else
where have been constantly kept in
mind that there is a Valdez, and that
she wants a railroad and many other
things. And forthwith she gets the
base of supplies from which prelim
inary work will be directed in locat
ing and building government rail
roads.—Cordova Alaskan.
EUROPE’S “MEAL TICKET."
The annual spring rush of Amer
icans to Europe has commenced with
a volume of business that exceeds any
previous spring movement. One of
the great floating hotels in use in
the transatlantic trade recently car
ried out of New York 1,750 passen
gers bound for European ports, the
larger portion occupying first and
second class cabin accommodations.
Bookings for staterooms are now be
ing made for months ahead, and it
is stated that this year’s business will
far exceed that of any other year.
The greater portion of the traffic is
made up of Americans on pleasure
bent, though there is, of course, a
constantly growing volume of travel
ers on business.
Ships coming from Europe continue
to unload thousands of steerage pas
sengers at American ports. It ap
pears from the records that we are
doing a large business in receiving
and assimilating European labor, and
sending back our moneyed tourists on
the return passages. Probably no na
tion but this could maintain such a
prejudicial trade deficiency year after
year without feeling -the loss of the
currency in trade and industrial chan
nels.
It is (Unfortunate ,that the ■ trip
“abroad” has come to be regarded as
a necessary finishing touch to a so
cial education and the assumption of
a leading part in social activities.
There is, of course, a vast field of
historical association in the older civ
ilizations of Europe that cannot be
assimilated by remaining at home, but
the tourists on historical missions
bent form but a small portion of the
great throng.’
As it is, millions of American dol
lars are taken out of home channels
and distributed about Europe annu
ally. To the hotels and railroads and
amusement centers of Europe we are
the perennial meal ticket, and the
“good thing.” And in addition, we
are relieving Europe of its surplus
labor and a vast burden of industrial
discontent. If anything happened to
interrupt this' exchange for a year
or two, Europe would experience a
financial cataclysm.—Ex.
OUR TRADE WITH JAPAN.
The consul general at Yokohama
furnishes, in a consular bulletin, the
figures of Japan’s foreign trade for
1913. This report shows that the
United States continues to be the
principal customer for Japanese
goods, with Chiba in second place.
On the other hand, however, impor
tations into Japan were far greater
from England and British India than
they were from the United States.
The balance of trade with Japan is
very largely against the tJnlted States,
notwithstanding the splendid trans
portation facilities and the cheap
rates from the Pacific; ports of the
United States.
During 1913 Japan purchased from
the United States goods to the val
*' * ii •
ue of $60,959,365, a decline of nearly
three million dollars from the rec
ord for 1912. We imported from Ja •
pan goods to the value of $91,968,
612, an increase of upwards of seven
and one-lialf millions. Great Britain
took but $16,370,147 in goods from
Japan, but sold to that country goods
to the value of $61,123,013, while
British India, buying even less from
Japan, sold to tlrtit country goods to
the value of $86,240,013, while the
purchases of Japan from the United
States fell off, its purchases from
Great Britain, Germany and British
India expanded largely.
t)n the showing, while the United
States continues to be the best cus
tomer which Japan lias in the world,
our trade to that country is declin
ing, while the trade of European
countries is steadily expanding.
Another thing in the showing is the
increase of Japan’s export trade to
China, which is largely of manufac
tured ogods, in which Japan com
petes with the United States and is
ab,sorbin gthe market.—Ex,
