Honor Guest at Chamber Luncheon Declares Adequate Transporta tion Is Vital to Kxtcnsion of Business in Orient. George E. Anderson, United States consul-general at Hong Kong, China, visited in Portland yesterday and con ferred both formally and informally with local business men who have trade connections in the Orient. Mr. Anderson was the guest of honor at a luncheon attended by about 25 Portland men of the Chamber of Com merce at noon. He spoke informally, explaining the nature of his work in China and pointing out the possibili ties of future trade extension. "If the United States hopes to ex tend its relations with the Orient." Mr. Anderson said, "it will be neces sary to provide adequate transporta tion facilities. Tonnage Shortage Is Kelt. "Of course it is useless to look for a great deal of new business until af ter the war," he continued. "It would be impossible to take care of the busi ness on steamers now available even were it offered. If ships were avail able now, there would be a large mar ket for American goods in southern China. American shippers have a rich opportunity of developing this market after the war ends. It is the purpose of my office to co-operate in every possible way with the business inter ests of the country to get a foothold n the Oriental markets." Mr. Anderson spoke in unqualified terms in support of an American mer chant marine. He declared that a mer chant marine is absolutely necessary if America is to enjoy the fullest share of benefit growing out of commerc with the Far East. Japan Is Viewed as Rival. He spoke significantly of "a certain nation" that is making strenuous ef forts to develop its trade through the aid of subsidized ships. While he did not name the nation he had in mind it was apparent to all- who are in formed on the subject that he referred to Japan. Through the agency of Ansel R. Clark, foreign trade secretary at the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Anderson met. in private conference many Port land people who have trade interests in the Orient. Among his visitors in this connection was J. W. Ganong. vice president of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, who complained about the alleged violations of existing com mercial treaties by flour mill operators in China. According to the terms of this treaty, flour is not to be shipped out of China, but recently, some enterprising opera tors have improved the grade of their product, and have exported it into other Oriental districts. This action has brought the Chinese product into competition with Portland flour and the Portland manufacturers have com plained to the State Department at Washington about it. Case Decided Against Port. The case was decided adversely to the Port and interests who hope now to bring it again to the attention of the authorities at Washington through Mr. Anderson. Through his office at Hongkong, Gen eral Anderson is in close touch with the trade of all the provinces in the south ern part of China as well as many other Oriental countries. He brings fresh information regarding the conditions and possibilities there. He says that political conditions in China still are much disturbed and pre diets that the final outcome of the pres ent unsettled state of affairs will be a division in the Chinese republic. He looks for two distinct Chinese nations to spring up, one composed of the northern half of China and the other of the southern half. Mr. Anderson left here yesterday for San Francisco and will proceed thence to Washington. D. C, for consultation with officials of the State Department. He plans to visit Portland again on his way back to his post in China. 4 0. A. G. MEN CHOSEN CALL FO It TRAIMKD WORKERS IS HEARD AT COLLEGE. Underwood and White Salmon Unite.
