RUSSIA IS READY 1 FORTRABE HERE Place Onco Ilold by Germany Awaits Intelligent Deve- lopment by Americans. TEUTONS PROVED CRAFTY Mastered tho Psychology of tho Natives, Then Employed Simple Tricks. By A. J. SACK. Two things ir essential for every one Interested In the Russian market First, every one must know hta tie'.d and have a system of connections In this field; second, every one must know the psy- chology of tho Russian buslnesss mnn and havb a cloar Idea of (he best method of approaching him. Tho history of American-Russia- n trade relations before tho war shows best what part In Russia's foreign trade can be covered by American activity. A study of the German methods In trado with Russia gives tho best understand ing as to how successfully approach the Russian business man. The presont war has created many changes In tho prospects for the de-- 1 velopment of a close economic cooper-- j atlon botwoen Russia and tho United States, but prior to the war there was strong evldenco showing the tendency toward economic cooperation betwoen Russia nnd the United States. The changes effected by the presont war are therefore only an emphasized continua- tion of the natural tendency toward an i American-Russia- n economlo rapproche- ment , A great part of Germany's success in Russia was due to tho Russian-Germa- n commercial treaty existing before thr war. This treaty favored German to such a decree that beforu the war in Russian economic literature tho question was raised, \Should Rus- sia bo Germany's colony any longer?\ But the Russian-Germa- n commercial treaty was only one of tfho conditions that made for Germany's success In dealing with Russia. Tho Immediate reason for Germany's success was her wonderful method In trading. Why the English Failed. Enctlsh roods Imported In Russia were always of better quality Ger man goods, but tho English never con sldored power the comparatively low buying the Russian population. Knr1 listi goods were always higher priced and did not present as groat variety and novelty as the Germm product. . In dealing with Russia tho ungiisn almost never sold on credit All con tracts with Russian houses were c'owd with the condition f. o. b.: English port. That was something that went against all the customs of tho Russian market Tho largest and most rellablo Russian houses availed themselves of the credit system very largely In buy ing goods. To ask them for payment as the English did, about a month nnd n half or two months before seeing tho goods, was fatal for Engtlsq WJnnnn Ts Tlnilrllncr IriJe.

TRADE OF WORLD SOUGHT BY JAPAN Representative of Great Ship- ping1 Concorn Outlines an Ambitious Project. EXPANSION THE KEYNOTE Limited Natural Resources of Country Muko New Policy Necessary. Narlnobu TeraBhlma of tho Nippon Yusen Knlshn, who visited Paris during the Peace Conforenco to study the ship- ping situation otopplng In the United Btatos to examlfio the activities here has returned to Toklo with distinctly formed Ideas regarding tho nocosstty for development of Japan's ovorseas com- merce. \What most attracted my attontlon was ttiat Franco, Italy 'and Holland nre making very active efforts to Improva the conditions of their ports,\ began Mr, Terashlma In an Interview In tho Japan Advertiser. 'Those countrlca suffered severe financial blows during tho war and their leading financiers recognize that the only means of ameliorating tho situation Is to promoto foreign trade by means of their own vessels. During the war thoso countries paid enormous amounts for the charter of foreign shlpa, and this has brought home to them tho necessity of owning merchantmen. \Officials and the peoples of Franco, Italy and Holland are dovotlng much at. ter.tlon to tho establishment of powerful mercantile marines. These efforts ara particularly notlccablo In France, tho Government of which haat planned to have a fleet of 5,000,000 tons before long, as compared with tho 1,500,000 tons of phlpa which France possessed before th war. All the nations, Including tho United States, are pncparlng to enlarge, their shipping trades. Great Britain's present tonnage Is 3,000,000 less before tho war; but her shipyards are actively working to make up ttio losses. \Japan has become one of tho flvs great Powers of tho world. Wo phould endeavor to Increase tho wealth of the country. The productivity of Japan 13 limited and thercforo it Is necessary for the Japanese to devote their efforts to the extension of their foreign trade and of their shipping operations bvorseas. Our carrying trado should not hereafter bo based on tho needs of this country alone. \Tho resources of this country being limited there Is also a limit to tho (.hip ping requirements of the country's for- eign trade. We should endeavor, there fore, to extend our shipping operations between tho markets of the world; for Instance, to carry cereals from Shang hai, copra from Singapore and sugar from Java to Europe. It Is necessary that we open and maintain shipping ser- vices which have no direct bearing on Japan. I am convinced thnt the funda mental policy of Japan's shinning should be to extend the trade Internationally and In all waters of tho world.\ INDIA OBLIVIOUS TO INDUSTRY HERE Merchant Didn't Know Amer-ic- a Made Cotton Goods. An Indian merchant whom tho local banks rate at five to six lakhs of rupeoi ($165,000 to $200,000) called at tha American Consulate In Karachi, India, recently confessed that he did not know (hat tho United States produced cotton piece goods. A companion, also a wealthy Indian, was slightly better Informed, but even he had no Idea of the tme position and firmly bellevdl that If the United States did produce cotton piece goods the price would he so much higher than that of similar goods of British manufacture that In dia could not buy them. This Incident Is mentioned to show how great is the need In Karachi con- sular district for education along linos of America's commercial and Industrial capabilities. In Individual cases ex- cellent educative work Is being done by the direct representatives of American firms who are now In India: but each of theso men preaches a limited text prescribed by his Immediate affilia- tions, while it la a general scheme of education that Is urgently required. It Is of undoubted benefit to Amer- ican manufacturers for Consuls and trado commissioners tn send In reports on the needs of this or that foreign market, but n complementary process needed: somebody, either personally or by advertisement In the press tho ver- nacular as well as the English press must tell India what America can do. If Ignorance exists here regarding Amer ican cotton t!ec- - goods, ts It not likely to exist also regarding many othor staple lines?
