NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1922. SUGAR CANE PLANTATIC: st %VA = Jk/s ISLAND IS ONE OF g \E BIGGEST PRODUCERS OF-£(Y SUGAR IN THE WORLD (=7 " By FRANCIS H. SISSON, Vice President Guaranty Trust Company of New York. HE pronounced success of , & recent loan of $40,000,- 000 to the Dutch East Indies made through an | American Banking syndicate brings to the attention of many of the American public for the first time the surprising extent and importance of this island em- pire of Holland, and the rich trade possibilities that lie ahead of it. It is interesting to note in this connection that the first foreign loan ever contracted by the United States Government was a loan from IHolland in 1781. Holland 'was ti rst country to récognize cur ne sovernment and the first |. salute to our flag waséired in the | Dutch colony of Ste. Eustalia. The Dutch East Indies, which lie in the Indian Ocean. south of the Philippines, form roughly a huge crescent with Borneo half filling the curve. Some idea of | the great sweep of the islands may | be gained by picturing them s.retched across the United States. ! Starting in the Pacific beyond Cali- | fornia, they would reach to Ber-| | muda. Sumatra is as large as California. Borneo excecds Texas | in area. New Guinea would just comfortably lie between New York and Omaha, and Celebes is far larger than New England. Java, one of the most remarkable eco- | nomic units in the world, is about the size of Pennsylvania. Owing to its abundance of water, to its fertility and the industry of its people, Java sustains a population of thirty millions and at the same time exports food. The Dutch East Indies altogether have a population numbering about one-half that of the United States, - and constitute in several respects RUBBER IN NEW GUINEA - The DUTCH EAST INDIES ARE MAKIN ing evidence of the beneficial in international trade. later of the Panama Canal and development of the Colony. with the Dutch East Indies further development. $61,180,000. imports 1920-1921. the most important colonial posses- sion in the Pacific. The remarkable economic development of these is- lands in recent years is a convinc- fects of the policy of an open door The con- struction of the Suez Canal and stimulus to the trade of the Isiands in consequence of the World War have also accelerated the economic The trade of the United States greatly cxpanded in recent years, and there is ample promise of its In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914, exports to these islands from the United States were valued at $3.677,000. So greatly has this trade grown that in the. fiscal year ended June, 1921, the exports were valued at There has been a similar expansion in the value of into the United States from the islands—from $5,334, in 1913-1914 to $141,664,000 in iich G GREAT PROGRESS IN CULTIVATION OF THIS PRODUCT. There has been no such phe- nomenal growth in the trade of the Colony as a whole as there has been in its trade with the United States. Nevertheless the figures reflect marked progress in the development of the Colony’s economic resources. Exports in 1920 were valued at $890,000,000, which compares with $274,000,000 as the value of exports in 1914. The Colony’s exports regularly exceed imports. In 1514 this ex- cess amounted to $102,000,000; in 1919 it amounted to $571,000,- |1 000, or almost twice the value of | the total imports for the year. The balance in 1920, $370,000,000, while considerably under that for 1919, is indicative of the ability of the Dutch East Indies to pre- serve a favorable trade position in a period of world-wide reaction. The difficulty of obtaining manu- factured articles from abroad dur- ing the war has greatly stimulated manufacturing in the islands. Their manufactures now include iron products, vegetable oils, building materials, rope, bristles, ef- the | has 000 dies Fa East [n in of AN —DRILLING FOR OIL 1N JAVA- HOLLARD IS ACTIVELY DEVELGPING THE, RICH MINERAL RESOURCES OF HER- . 5 4 COLONIES [ paint, a variety of chemicals, etc. | gives promise that in general the|an The abundance of raw materials | manufacturing industries of the Rich Futupe GREEN HEMI?
