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.

so far has refused to give the state an
extension on its contract until Morson
