OTTAWA PREFERENCES
Effect on Anglo-Indian Trade JAPANESE COMPETITION London, September 13. The report of the Board of Trade’s Commissioner for India for the three months from April to June, 1933, furnishes a striking illustration of the effect of the Ottawa agreements on India’s import trade. In nearly every item in which there is preference the United Kingdom has improved its percentage of trade., In most cases the shipments have actually increased, although the total shipments are reduced. United Kingdom products are gradually displacing Continental and American goods, but Japan’s competition is increasingly severe in a steadily-widen-ing range of articles. The disparity between the United Kingdom and Japanese prices is usually so wide that the 10 per cent, preference is entirely inadequate. ,
