JAPANESE COMMERCIAL

POWER

LAMENT BY THE

ASAHI

Japanese Commercial Power on the Wave" is the title of a Tokyo Asahi leader in which the writer looks, back on the activity of the Japanese trade dür ing the war and

contrasts

it with the gloomy prospect For that trade at present. How long the activity of the Japanese foreign trade in the East and the South Seas can be kept up after the war depends on how far Japanese traders can resia the formidabie influence of the United States, who is bent on carrying on operations on agigantic scale on the strength of her vast wealth, and also upon how successfully the in- vasion of European goods march- ing in great forces to the East and the South Seas in order to recover their lost market can be checked. But in the case of Japanese cotton fabrics in the Indian market, for example, signs of decline began to show themselves immediately. on the conclusion of the armistice, and if the export is still continued. It is only by force of the momentum, as it were, as it will be some time before European goods appear in the market. The same is the case with the shipping trade. The absolute power of Japanese vessels in the South Seas. which was acquired by their activities during the

war, "is being gradually under- mined by the pressure bluntly brought to bear by the Indian Government in the interests of British shipping. This interfer- ing policy of that Government cannot but result in the ultimate

withdrawal of Japanese vessels from Indian Waters. On the other hand, a challenge has been thrown down by American ship- ping backed up by a huge capital. The remark of Mr. Alexander, the Chairman of the American- Japanese Relations Commission. to the effect that "the Pacific Ocean is too extensive to be mono-

polised by any single country." and that of Mr. Lynch, the Vice- Chairman of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce; to the evect that the Pacific problem in future cannot be solved by means of competition or rivalry, are really warnings in respect of the position of this country in the Pacific. and notices of the
