THE TEEMING ORIENT
FACTOR IN WORLD'S TRADE
W. M. HUGHES TELLS AMERICA
WHAT TO DO.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTRIGHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) WASHINGTON, 7th March. ' In a speech at Seattle Mr. W. M. Hughes, ex-Premier of Australia, said: "The East with its teeming millions is becoming more and more evident as a potential factor in the world's trade.
"The balance of trade grows through consumption, and consumption grows with a wider conception of life by the masses. The masses of the Orient are getting this through being inoculated with the virus of western civilisation. "The people of the United States must take full measure of their geographical and commercial vantage ground. You are nearest the broadest gateway to the world which has been asleep, but is now awake, which once dined upon a crust, and now demands a place at the world's banquet table."
