JAPAN'S INVASION.
Growing Trade in Colonial
Markets.
HOUSE OF COMMONS QUESTION.
LONDON, December 7.
On the motion for the adjournment of the House of Commons to-day, Mrs. Ida Copeland (Con., Stoke) drew attention to the menace to the .pottery industry due to Japanese competition. She said there was no doubt that Japan was making a dumping ground of Australia and New Zealand.
Dr. E. L. Burgin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, said that unfair competition in regard to trade marks and the imitation of styles would be severely dealt with.
A British official wireless message states that Mr. D. J. Colville, Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, said he had received reports of competition from Japan in various colonial markets affecting a number of British manufactures other than cotton textiles, including asbewtos sheets, cement, rayon goods, cycles, cycle parts, galvanised iron, pottery, tiles, rubber footwear, soap and beer.
The Government was keenly watch ing this competition and actively con sidering the question.
