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.

Look at Tongue ! Then Give Fruit
Laxative for Stomach,

"California Syrup of Figs "Can't
Harm Children and
They Love It.
Mother, your child ltsn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is coat
ed; this is a sure sign the little stom
ach, liver and bowels need a cleansing
at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, rull of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleeep or act naturally, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, remember a gentle
liver and bowel cleansing should al
ways be the first treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup of
Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again. All chil
dren love this harmless, delicious "fruit
laxative," and it never fails to effect a
good "inside" cleansing. Directions for
babies, children of all ages and grown
ups are plainly on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A little
given today saves a sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs," then see that it
is made by the "California Fig Syrup
Company."
