JAPANESE GOODS

THE BRITISH ATTITUDE

(By Telegraph)

(Special to the "Evening Post.")

DUNEDIN, August 27,

A representative in European firm writes to business friend as follows:—

Japan of a a Dunodin

"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 involved. The British Government has beon most unreasonable, as it is not allowing goods even to land, for if they aro landed they aro subject to confiscation. No doubt this Japanese competition is a very serious monaco not only to British trade but to general' world trade. At tho samo time, it i 3 really questionable whether it is fair to take the measures which are being taken by various coun-. tries against Japan without thoso countries putting their own domestic affairs in order. I only hopo that Now Zealand and Australia aro not going to follow suit, otherwise wo can close office and have ouv staff make a pilgrimage to Mount Fuji, singing 'Nearer, my God, to Thee.' "
