REDUCTION OF DUTY
Australian Inducement To Japan
REOPENING TRADE TALKS
(Received June 17, 12.22 a.m.) Canberra, June 16.

This would reduce the duty on Japanese rayon from 9d. to Bd. a yard and on cotton piece goods by one farthing all round. Australia is also prepared to undertake to ensure that Japan retains at least half her present textile trade, while facilities will also be afforded for, Japan steadily to expand her Australian trade as a “good-customer" country.
