MARKETS CUT OFF.
JAPANESE GOODS
RESENTMENT EXPRESSED.
« MOST UNREASONABLE."
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
DUNEDIN, this day.
The representative in Japan of a European firm writes to a Dunedin business friend: "Conditions over here have become very difficult lately, on account of quotas being put on in British colonies against Japanese goods, and we ourselves have been very heavily in-
volved. The British Government has been most unreasonable, as it is not allowing goods even to land, for if they are landed they are subject to confiscation. No doubt this Japanese competition is a very serious menace, not only to British trade, but to general world trade. At the same time, it is really questionable whether it is fair to take the measures which are being taken by various countries against Japan without those countries putting their own domestic affairs in order.
"I only hope that New Zealand and Australia are not going to follow suit, otherwise we can close the office."
