21. Japan has lost 90 per cent of her trade with China since the imposition of the boycott on Japanese gooda last May, according to Mohan T. Y. Zl, of Shanghai, delegate of the Chi nese General Chamber of Com merce to the national foreign trade convention to be held here in May Commissioner Zi, a member of one of the greatest importing and exporting houses of China, ia mak ing a tour of leading American cities, and will return here in time for the convention. Speaking of Japan's loss of the trado it had built up with China during the war, reaching a volume of hundreds of millions of dollars, Commissioner Zi told of the opportunities offered to Americans.

"As a condition precedent to this great trade opportunity for Amer ica in China, the primary considera tions are better cable facilities and more he said. "American cotton exports to China up to the time when this country entered the war, approximated $100,000,000. The great bulk of thi3 trade, immediately upon your exports stopping, was secured by Japan, which obtaining the raw product from China, manufactured the cotton and sent the finished product back for Chineso markets. "Since the boycott, due to the Shantung situation, this great cotton market has been left practically open, and one of my chief missions to this country is to establish connections with the big cotton exporters. China is urgently in need of materials of hardware and of electrical equipment.

In the latter line Japanese products again are suffering from the boycott and the field is wide open. "While to the outside world the trouble between Northern and Southern China seems important It has no great bearing-on the mercantile and industrial life of China. These factional differences are the product of political groups seeking power. "The automobile indnstry is capable of tremendous development, as the Chinese are very partial to American motors of good modern style and quality and at the lowest price consistent with these qualifications." Chinese are also making Rtridos in the development of Industries and building up the manufactures of their own country. Commissioner Zi said, lie also pointed out that American business men made a mistake in dealing with compradores (native commission merchants) at Chinese ports, rather than with Chinese importing and exporting houses, who, better understanding their proBloms, talking the language of their clients, operated moro economically and efficiently in behalf of foreign traders.
