CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON ED The Pacific Future Nears Increase in both imports and exports from Pacific ports to what Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, has designated “those distant strange ro- mantic regions that lie beyond the biggest ocean” augurs well for the realization of the vision of more than one American statesman and thinker thata vaster commerce than that across the Atlantic awaits the future of this country on the Pacific coast, Since the World war, the commerce of the western ports has increased five-fold. This is but a beginning. ‘The elements of a greater volume exist across the big ocean, One is the vastness of the populations there. "These have been too unwieldy, too shabbily organized to permit even a fair realization of their potentialities. China, for instance, has been so overpopulated that the poverty resulting therefrom has been a restraint to trade development. With a population less thick and with nor- mal prosperity, the Celestial republic might be a buyer on a greater scale of our commodities and wares than now, ‘The future day which is to bring into being this augmented commerce largely will be an outcome of the present reorganization of China. As that country be- comes more western, it is bound to develop material needs more like those of America and to call on American mills’ and shops to supply its new wants, just as reor- ganizing Russia now is a greater customer of American business and industry. ‘This outlook, even the developments s0 far achieved, are corroboration of what many a notable American has been saying ever since Seward bought Alaska in the be- lief that gigantic events were held in the hand of the future on the Pacific. In 1852, before Seward negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, he predicted that “the Pacific ocean, its shores, its islands and the vast regions beyond will become the chief theater of events in the world’s great hereafter.” into the tariff bill in the hope of stultifying the president e Bismarck Tribune THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 5, 1930 - ‘A ‘Phoenix’ Out of the Ashes! I in his previous opposition to the idea, and the action rings like one that will stick in the conference see- sawing on the tariff measure. The situation was such that, in view of the prior Hoover declaration of positive and unalterable opposition to the debenture, there was nothing left for the chief executive, in the event had the house yielded to the senate, except to veto the whole rider-burdened measure. The house, however, stood as stoutly to its previous attitude as the president and re- jected the senate attempt to bully it and Mr. Hoover. As the grain exporting situation develops, it grows more and more apparent that the debenture would be even less a help than was regarded as possible hereto- fore in solving the problem of the farmer who raises wheat. Europe grows increasingly less inclined to buy American grain and imposes tariffs in the hope of de- veloping its own supply, if not in entirety, then in in- creasing ratio to its needs. In the not distant future Russia very likely will de- velop a production of wheat so cheap that it can con- trol the market abroad, thus still further complicating the American farm problem and calling on this country to exercise even more strenuously its wits to find ways for marketing its surplus of grain. At least, it would seem that this prospect is ahcad as Russia proceeds to develop its vast-scale farming policy. As to any artificial economic assistance in unloading the American wheat surplus on Europe, there already has arisen a hostility which Lloyd George has expressed in terms of meriting not merely hampering and restricting tariff duties but an actual embargo. The debenture provi- sion saddled on the tariff bill, as it had been previously on the farm relief bill, is one of those steps which Lloyd George had in mind when he inveighed against all forms of subsidized marketing from this side of the Atlantic. Farm relief will’be worked out by experience. That implies mistakes as well as successes. There is a ten- dency to overcriticize the operations of the system en- acted in the form of the Farm board. That body is feeling its way in the dark. There is no sense in loading on it such cross-purpose legislation as proposed in the debenture provision, for that merely tends to increase the obstacles with which the board has to contend and HUNTING THE GREENS arms hunting for the the end of winter. it divides the opinions of the nation as to the wisdom secretary of agriculture during Presi-|is recommended to the world,”— atid workability of the machinery already set up.

So far one of the essentials to even a working basis has been sadly kept at odds, and that is full and perfect cooperation. Without that, farm relief cannot succeed. Those who multiply agencies in a selfish desire to dominate relief in their own way, denying faith and credit to other machinery and confusing the grain and cotton growers, are not giving loyal or intelligent support and service in the cause of relief. ‘The country generally probably will conclude that President Hoover has achieved another victory over such an element in the vote of the house to reject the deben- ture monkey wrench tossed into the cogs of the tariff bill and the farm relief law both by lawmakers either unwise or disloyal to the interests of the nation’s great basic in- dustry. trees on the day named with the stipulation thet the board offer a prize of $100 to the agricultural so- ciety or that county which should plant the greatest number of trees.

He quoted Roosevelt and Kipling along with Seward as ‘vrophets of this great future, He said: Rudyard Kipling—in that poem which is probably the most famous one he ever wrote—glorified the passionate yearning for the East, for Asia, for Man- dalay, the “greener, cleaner land” of rice fields, temple bells, great pagodas, and “elephants a-pilin’ teak,” the land which, to the memory-haunted Brit- ish soldier of the poem, lay “somewhere cast of Suez.” The residents of our Pacific coast would doubtless be justifiably reluctant to concede that any land could be cleaner or more attractive than their own—yet they too (especially the business men among them) look ever more expectantly and persist- ently toward Asia, Australasia and the islands of the sea. Unlike Tommy Atkins, they look west— west of Catalina Island, west of the Golden Gate, west of Puget Sound. Any American business man, possessing an imag- ination, who looks out toward the orient will see not only swinging cranes and steamers’ holds and ledgers and dollar marks, but also he may feel him- self the embodiment of those hardy spirits who first carried our flag and our wares across those wide stretches of water. Vision is essential if we are to understand even the primary factors in the economic life of the East. And we need to have not only the easy image-form- ing vision of the dreamer, but in addition—and to a greater degree—the more difficult vision that in- volves a comprehension of the economic meanings of those deeper forces that are now stirring everywhere in the East. Asia today is in transition. Its life and thought, its economic structure, are in a state of flux. Power- ful, imperfectly apprehended energies are at work throughout the transpacific area—not simply among ,the teeming millions of orientals on the mainland but in Anglo-Saxon Australasia as well. There is an awakening—a shifting of bases—a stretching out toward new goals. Time-worn incrus- tations of custom, age-old shells of tradition, are being broken up. New vistas are opening. Modern methods and modern viewpoints are penetrating an- cient moulds. And we must remember that these are tendencies which involve not less than two-thirds of the population of the world. It is these facts that assure for the Pacific coast of the United States its due place in that age which was foreseen 50 clearly by Theodore Roosevelt when, in his oft-quoted pronouncement, he said that the “Pacific Era” of history, “destined to be the great- est, is just at the dawn!” And what, you may be asking, about our great ex- port trade to those regions lying west and southwest of the Pacific? As the author of “Mandalay” has been so very fond of saying, “that is another story.” Our annual’sales of American merchandise to those countries have risen from the prewar figure of $187,- 000,000 to the 1929 total of $817,000,000. The increase, nearly matches the proportion of advance in our im- Ports from these lands. ‘This trade means much to the Pacific coast. It means much to the entire country. It represents a superb growth, of which the seeds were sown in those early days when the flaghing clipper ships raced around the Horn, out to the newly opened marts of Canton. We of today are the heirs, the beneficiaries, of that courage, that quenchless ardor, that super- lative mercantile and navigating skill. Monkey Wrench Again Removed President Hoover seems to have scored again in his fight with the senate to keep the country from adopting bounties as a form of farm relief. The house again has voted down the debenture provision, this time slipped ‘What the outcome will be we shall not predict, but the law in any event looks rather y intent was, no doubt, high-minded, but in ager rated simply favors the candidate who already has his publici nd as against the candidate who has his publicity still get.
