MR. LYONS' ULTIMATUM.
It is stated that Mr. Lyons requested Japan to reduce her imports to Australia by twothirds, but Japan's reply lias been to'reduce imports from Australia to about 25 per cent. The position appears to be that Australia may be quite justified in reducing the import of Japanese goods to one-third, but, on tile other hand, Japan is quite in order when she reduces her imports from Australia to 25 per rent. The preference given to British goods is not popular with foreigners, and the Ottawa agreements are not universally popular with public opinion in the Dominions. It is very evident that the British manufacturer must more and ni<?re produce an article at a competitive price to the satisfaction of the buying public. STUDEXT.
