U. S. ALWAYS "LEFT?' Ill GIIIIIA-DElllllS ; -:.if.:.Ju- - i --J,,, SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Jan. 16. Tha startling assertion that the foreign business .policies of the United States are not equivalent to the UElomacy of other nations, was made y W. C. . Dennisv-formerly of Richmond. Ind.,' recent legal advisor to China, who arrived here recently on the Pacific Mail liner Venezuela.-
' Dennis, speaking at a dinner given
Mm by the Chinese Six Companies, a
local Chinese business organization.
b quoted by the San Francisco Journal of Commerce as saying:
"America's foreign failures are most strikingly Illustrated by the railroads," says Dennis. "If you take a railroad
map of China today there is scarcely a line that has not at some time been
planned or surveyed- or tranchlsed by an American. Yet there is not an
American company operating a rail' road in China at this time.
"Of all the world natlonB America la

cellence. Of all the fields in the world
for profitable railroad building, China
la the greatest
"The men that went from this country to build railroads in China were among some of the greatest and most
aggressive the United States produced.
Their -foresight Into the possibilities China offered gave them the lead on
promoters from any other country. "They were welcomed by the Chi
nese officials. The railroad franchises
granted American firms far exceed the
concessions made to any other foreign
concerns. ' "'. . Built First Railroads.
"These men surveyed and started
the first railroads in China. The
opportunity then became - evident throughout the world. France and England and Germany and Japan went
into China to build railroads.
"Then began the competition that
American companies have proved in
capable of meeting from the start, and are today as hopelessly beaten as they
were when they lost the Peking-Hang-
kow railroad the most favored line
in China. "Vhat is the trouble? 'The State Department and the Consular Service cannot be given the entire blame. Other Nations Jealous. " i "If an American railroad were projected through a certain territory franchise granted by the Chinese government, and full support given by the Chinese public, that franchise would almost invariably be contested by some near-by foreign railroad arguing that the American yenture was in conflict with their franchise. Tn the international diplomatic controversies that followed, the American firm woal!d lose. I am not saying why they lost, or blaming any country or any department of this country. "But the fact remains that despite the merits of the'case, the result was always thereame. The American project was abandoned, sold or tied up, depending on the extent to which plans had been developed." Japan's Purpose Dennis lays stress on the importance of the consortium that is now considering advancing money to build new railroads in China. He eays that plans are now tied up because Japan
wants to mark off several sections of the Chinese republic as her personal field of railroad building leaving the remainder of the program to be equally undertaken by the other powers. He warns America to insist that any international interprise in China be tackled only on a mutually equal basis America has the money, he says, and the very best she can do is to play an equal part in any international project that is undertaken. "The opportunity that China offers railroad building has never been equal
ed in the world," says Dennis. "The
roads have been laid no more than
scratch the country. The lines that
should be built within the next decade or two will run into hundreds of thousands of miles. They need a system more extensive than that of the United States, and today they have but a few
thousand miles. And perhaps nowhere
In the world do the railroads ay as
well as in china. 1 cannot think or a single line that is not now paying
tremenduous profits.
"What is America going to do about
it?"
