SISSON, Vlc President Cumranty Trusl Compaajr of New York t UE pronounced success of I recent loan of $40,000 I 000 to the Dutch Est 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 inland env 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 Htates Government was a loan from Holland in 1781. Holland was the first country to recognize our new Government and the first salute to our flag was fired in the Dutch colony of Ste. Eustalia. The Dutch East Indies, which He 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 stretched across the United States. Starting in th Pacific beyond Cali fornia, they would reach to Ber muda. Sumatra is as large as California. Borneo exceeds 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 site 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 MAM "i;-ii?,h-Mia J JL T View of a Sumatra HlGHWAy A SYSTEM OF SPLENDID ROAOS EXTENP through Hollands ISLAND; Possessions CATWFRINi RUBBER NEW GUINEA 7fa Dutch e INDIES ARE WAGING GREAT PROGRESS IN the most important colonial posses sion in the l'acific. Tne remarkable economic development of these is lands in recent years is a convinc ing evidence of the beneficial ef fects of the policy of an open door international trade. Ihe con struction of the Suez Canal and later of the Panama Canal and the stimulus to tho trade of tho Islands in consequence of the World War have also accelerated the economic development of the Colony. The trade of the United States with the Dutch East Indies has greatly expanded in recent years. and there is ample promise of its further development. In the fiscal year ended June Z0. I'jl4. expurti to these islands from the Lnitod States were valued at $3,677,000. So greatly has tins trado grown that in the fiscal year ended June. 1021. the exports were valued at $61,180,000. There has been a similar expansion In tne value or T 4 f 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 it trade with the United States. Nevertheless the figures reflect marked progress in the development of the Colony's economic resources. L:,poi is In 190 were valued at $800.00 j.000. which compares with $1174.00.000 as the value of exports in 1914. The Colony exports regularly exceed imports. In 1914 this ex cess amounted to $10.000.000: in 1919 it amounted to $571,000. 000. or almost twice the value of the total imports for tne year. The balance in 1920. $:!70 000 000 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 roaction- The difficulty of obtaining manu factured articles from abroad dur ing the war has greatly stimulated imports into the United States i manufacturing in the islands, from the islands from $5,33 1.000 j Their manufactures now include in 1913-1914 to $141,664,000 in iron products, vegetable oils 1920-1921. building materials, rope.

EAST INDIES NOW RAISE THE MATERIALS FOR THEIR OWN ROPE FACTORIES Colony will continue to expand. In these fields, as well as in the production of raw materials, there is an unusual opportunity for the further investment of foreign capital. The most important develop ment in the Colony's mining in recent years has been the growth in the output of petroleum. The industry is of recent origin, as the first concession was granted in 1883. Production of crude oil in the islands from 1910 to 1918 in creased from 1,501,045 to 1,764, 203 metric tons. The production of 2,365,320 metric tons in 1920 has been reported. Although somo of the petroleum is.exploited for Government account, it is prin cipally in the control of private companies. The Government, how ever, derives considerable revenue from petroleum in the form of an export tax. Other Government mining ac tivities include the working of col lieries and of tin, silver, and gold mines.

' The islands have extensive ijj terns of well-kept roads. A oesv ure of the popularity of motor vehicles in the Colony Is found in' the importation of 2,183 pawn, ger cars and 873 trucks in thi first quarter of 1921, while 700 of the former and 247 of the 1st. ter were imported in the first mu ter of 1920. The water power of the Dutch East Indies is an asset of pett potential worth. In 1910 the Government began to take ictin interest in the development ol these resources. The original in. tention was to supply electric power for the state-owned nil ways and tramways, but the scope of the project has now eitendtd beyond these limits. The Gorera. ment has already investiptel sources of water power with u aggregate of more than 1,500,000 horse-power, and a number of hydro-electric enterprises bin. been established. The progress which the Dutch East Indies have made is larjeh; a result of the wise and demt cratic colonial policy adopted Ij The Netherlands, which aim i develop the political, as veil the economic, capacity of the tive population. Local self-ge ment is extended from tint time ; a system of 'primary Mo tion, which recognizes the it guage and the customs of the tives has been established; ni the Home and Colonial Goten ments have co-operated in develop ing the resources and industrial! the Island Empire.

Among the first buildings to be erected 111 the eastern center is to be a community church, because, ac cording to one authority, the chief reason for making the changre is "a desire to clean up the niovtux picture Industry and to eradicate from the public mind some of the past ycar'a revelat ions " Incidentally It may be remarked that a careful canvass of the wholw situation has convinced some of the leading producers that a great deal of the work for which elaborate preparation are necessary In the western city can be carried on In or n ar New S'ork for much less.
