CHINESE TO CHEW GUM XATIOJV OFFERS BIGGEST MARKET IX WORLD, SAYS SPEAKER. America Is Warned to Look to Open Door, in Address Before Laymen's Missionary Movement. China will be the biggest chewing gum market in the world, according" to A. R. Kepler, of the Laymen's Mis sionary movement, recently returned from China,, who addressed the mem bers of the Rotary Club yesterday at their luncheon at the Benson Hotel. Mr. Kepler said that the Chinaman is an inveterate chewer of the betel nut and numerous other things and that he readily takes to chewing gum. With a population of more than 400,000,000 people the possibilities for. the chew ing gum market under these conditions he declared to be excellent. "This is only a tiny item of what China's trade means to the world," he said. "It is up to the United States' to watch closely the Far Eastern problem, the more so because the open ddor in, China is being slowly .closed, and we may find ourselves shut off . from that tre mendous market in a short time." Mr. Kepler declared that China must be Christianized as she is civilized, or that, being turned to a materialistic idea of progress under the influence from the Occident, she will become a terrific menace to the other nations. Fred B. Fisher, leader of . the Lay men's Missionary team, talked on vthe spread of the movement, pointing out that since 1906 the annual contributions to missionary activities had increased from f8.000.000 to J19,000,000 in the United States.
