STOCKINGS IN BRITAIN. GERMAN AND JAPANESE GOODS. DUTIES LOST THROUGH DUMPING ESTIMATE £1,000,000 A YEAR. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.50 a.m.) LONDON, March 10. The “(Sunday Chronicle” says that the Government is losing £1,000,000 a year owing to the dumping of foreign goods on which duties are evaded by the establishment of hundreds of dummy offices in Britain to which the goods are invoiced at fictitious lofc prices from foreign headquarters. For example, 35,000,000 pairs of stockings from cheap-labour factories in Germany and Japan were clumped in Britain in 1934 at below threepence a pair.
