BARTER REFUSED.
JAPANESE SHIPBUILDERS. SHIPS FOR BRAZILIAN NAVY. <t/nited Press Association—Copy) ight). TOKIO, September 14. A conference of shipbuilders decided that they would be unable to tender for the construction of 30 Brazilian warships, as the barter terms of payment were not acceptable. In March, Brazil proposed to British shipbuilding firms that, they should build for her 30 cruisers/ destroyers and transports, taking coffee and other Brazilian products in exchange. This was apparently refused, for Brazil then offered to exchange goods with Japan for the ships, or to grant her a colonising concession in return for them.
