Until now U.S.C.C. has monopolized Japanese foreign trade. Its job of reviving Japan's biggest export industry, textiles, has been good enough already to make Chinese textilemen cry that they have been betrayed, and U.S. textilemen are grumbling. The Chinese had expected to have at least ten years to build up their own textile industries before there was any Japanese competition.

Minor sketches of a fortune-telling gypsy and a one-eyed bandit are among the picture's high-spots, but the high-spots are few. The bitter revenge that motivated Merimee's unhappy soldier, and his fatal attachment for Carmen, are hinted at here but never realistically portrayed, and thus to main thread of the plot is expressed more by subtle implication than by forceful story-telling. But judging from the advertisements, subtle implications are what the public...
