Those countries are not as accessible as the United States to the inhabitants of China. It is universally conceded that commerce is not influenced by sentiment. and that commercial peoples purchase where they can buy to the best advantage. It has been admitted in the hearings on the exclusion bill before the Senate Committee on Immigration that China is no exception to this nile. Her trade with us at present is principally in the purchase of drills. jeans. sheetings. flour. raw cotton. machinery. and kerosene oil. Since the Japanese war China has made a remarkable progress in the development of her mines and the construction of railways.
