British Allegations Against Japs, in India. VEHEMENT DENIAL. (Received 10 a.m.) CALCUTTA, November 1. A strong accusation, of piracy in trade marks against Japan and an equally vehement denial are exercising the Indian business world.

Mr. S. Kurihara, Consul for Japan, in an interview, characterises the allegations as absolutely baseless. He emphasfced that Japanese manufacturers and traders had no need to copy British trade marks and designs of cloths. Piece goods merchants in. Calcutta and Bombay consider the time has arrived far strong action to be taken.
