MORE AMERICAN CAPITAL
NEEDED IN EAST INDIES
THE HAGUE, Netherlands. Sept.
10, (Correspondence of The Associ
ated Press).—“I regard it as most de
sirable that more American capita!
should be invested in the Netherlands
East Indies, and I have done constant
ly what l could to promote that end,”
declared J. B. van der Houven van
Oordt, one of three Hollanders who
have just been charged with an official
mission to Washington in connection
with the pending export question, that
so vitally concerns the Netherlands.
.Mr. van Oordt is a colonial official and
authority. He has been Under-Sec
retary of State for the Colonies, and
has also filled the post of \ ice-1 res
ident of the Council of the Nether
lands East Indies.
To the correspondent of 1 he Asso
ciated press, Mr. van Oordt pointed
out that there has been a big increase
in the commercial intercourse between
America and Dutch India since the
war, and particularly since the estab
lishment of a direct steamship line
between Java and San Francisco.
“The five boats now engaged in that
service,” he said, “are always packed |
with gootls. Rubber, and all kinds ot j
tropical products are shipped to the
United States, and the boats return I
laden with railroad rolling-stock, ma-1
chinery, automobiles, airplanes and Un
like. If only the ships were avail
able, the sen-ice might easily, and to j
advantage, be extended.
“But the amount of American cap
ital operating in the colony is small
in comparison with the British, Ger
man, French anil Belgian capital. It
is true there has been an increase in
recent years. There is one American
rubber estate in the island of Suma
tra that is the largest plantation in
the world, and special ships run to
United States ports to carry its pro
duce thither. But a great deal more
might profitably be done, especially
now money is so plentiful in the l n
ion. The sugar, rubber, tea and other
agricultural branches offer enormous
scope for profitable investment, not to
speak of mining possibilities.
“Although there are at present
very few in the country, Americans
are popular in the Netherlands East
Indies, and they and their enterprises
are assured of a most cordial welcome.
There is every prospect of a big ex
tension of the relations between the j
two countries, to our mutual advan
tage.”
