TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH
AUSTRALIA
CANBERRA, July 15.
Despite cables from Tokio hinting that Japan, though resenting Australia's tariff action, is nevertheless prepared to resume trade negotiations, •Sir Henry Gullett, Minister in charge ■of trade treaties, said tonight that he had no idea when to expect an Itofficial communication from Japan. ■ f He expressed the hope on behalf ■of the Government that the Japanese tl3overnment would reply within a few ■Hays whether it was prepared to reC'pen negotiations on the present basis q v after the suspension of discriminatory trade action.
The ambiguity of cables from Tokio is causing much speculation at Canborra, where the suggestion is put forward that Japan may be putting ou-t feelers in an effort to learn whether Australia is likely to weaken on her recent.decision to impose heavy duties on Japanese textiles.
