FUTURE MARKET
FOR U. S. TRADE
Government Experts Look
ing to Far East for Indus-
v trial Products of America
Modernization Will Aid
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE
WASHINGTON. (AP More than
ever, government trade experts are
looking to the Far East u a great
vmarke for future Industrial products
'of the United States.
Europe's Increased Industrializa
tion, coupled with a growing tenden
cy there to foster the use of "home"
products, has served to direct the
attention of these economists to the
relative Importance of trana-Paclflc
trade In the coming post-depression
period and the cultivation of mar
kets where hundreds of millions of
people are' potential consumers of
American-made goods.
.While It Is from the long-range
viewpoint rather than any Immediate
prospect that brightest hopes are held
for American trade gains In the Ori
ent, it Is believed that world-wide
economic recovery and the stabiliza
tion of silver the latter a major
objective of the forthcoming Interna
tional conference will give substan
tial Impetus to Par E-stern business.
See Hope tn Modernization
It la In the slow but steady pro
gressing of modernization of the Far
Bast as a whole, despite unstable po
litical conditions and the business
slump, that foreign trade observers
find the most salient note of hope ior
the Increase of trans-Paclflc shipping.
"In China's modern Industrial ad
vance, new trade vistas fcave been
opened up," says Dr. Julius Klein, as
sistant secretary of commerce. "The
new factories may cut our trade In
their finished products but they will
In the long run Increase It In other
lines by Improving the earning ca
pacity of the people and consequently
their living standards.
"New notions of comfort, enjoy
ment and the easier performance of
dally tasks are taking possession of
millions of minds in the Far East,"
Dr. Klein says. "Eventually hun
dreds of millions will be affected by
this kindling of new commercial de
sires. And In the satisfying of these
desires, American business is certain
to play an Important part."
The Far Eaat trade experts say
that even with the most rapid in
dustrial development, China for a
very long time would be unable to
satisfy the consumer needs of its
430,000,000 people. i
India Wants to "Shop"
While India with Its 350,000,000
people Is still the greatest of all east
ern customers of Great Britain, trade
observers say she is restive under
British commercial domination and is
showing a constantly Increasing de
termination to buy her "western"
needs In whatever market Is cheap
est. Considered as offering better near
future trade prospects and a similarly
vast potential market Is Russia with
Its 180,000,000 people and an Indus
trial program w.hlch economists be
lieve will not have sufficient capac
ity to care for her needs in manufac
tured goods.
Although these huge populations
have been slow in adapting them
selves to commercial modernism, the
trade of the United States with the
Far East as a whole has brown faster
Incs the pre-war period than with
any other great region in the world.
In the years 1910-1014, the Far
East took only '7 per cent of our
- total exports; in 1930 the proportion
was 144 per cent. That region sup
plied 15 14 per cent of U. S. Imports
Just before the war and more than
38 per cent last year.
"Look to the East"
In 1853, William H. Seward who
as secretary of state negotiated the
purchase of Alaska, ssld: "The Pa
cific ocean, Its shore, its islands and
the vast region beyond will become
the chief theater of events in the
world's great hereaftr."
Today's government trade experts
say: "As our foreign trade gets un
der way again as It ls bound to
some time the far-sighted export
ers will have as their slogan:
'Watch the East. "

Dowager Turns Extra
As Fortune Vanishes
By BOBBIN COONS
HOLLYWOOD (AP) After a life-'
time of wealth and travel, Suzanne
Wood, member of a prominent Chi-'
cago family, found 'her fortune cf
nearly 1,500.000 swept away in the
stock market crash of 1929.
Now she Is in Hollywood, an "ex
tra" in motion pictures, and pursu
ing her ambition for an acting ca
reer. "I don't consider It beneath my
dignity to play extra and small bits
in films no. Indeed," she says. "I
want to make a success, and to
achieve that I'm glad to start at the
bottom."
Suzanne Wood, known In Chicago
as Mrs. John E. Dean, Is the daugh
ter of the late Samuel E. Wood, prom
inent and wealthy Chlcagoan. Her
late husband, also wealthy, was a
world traveler. With him, until his
death and later alone, Suzanne Wood
toured the world, visited many for
eign countries and took part In so
cial and artistic activities both here
and abroad. In 1908 she was present
ed at the Court of St. James.
As singer and dancer she had ap
peared In charitable entertainments,
but never seriously thought of 'act
ing as a profession until, returning
from Europe, she found her fortune
gone. Further saddened by the death
in an automobile accident of her
brother. Kay Wood, Mrs. Dean came
V California.
"One day," she relates, 1 hired
car and. driver and set out for the
beach to rest and relax. Along the
way a tire went flat. It was In front
of the M-O-M studios. That was when
I decided to try pictures.
"While the tire was being repaired
I went into the casting office and
was told to report for work the next
day. I got 7 for It, and I've been
working at it ever since,"
Miss Wood la seen frequently In
ballroom scenes, usually as a soci
ety dowager. The rich wardrobe she
saved from happier days she uses now
before the camera. But she is philo
sophical about her losses.
"It isn't fashionable any longer to
be rich," she laughs. "I dont know
any one who is in these times. Now
I want to make a new career for
myself" as a character actress."
When she isn't playing in pictures,
MLss Wood writes. She Is the author
of several novels.
E
The Issuing and filing of many doc
uments, which come under the .head
