JAPAN’S TRADE DRIVE
GOODS AT LOW PRICES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Sept. 27. Sir George Elliot, speaking at a company meeting to-day about- Japan, which he recently visited, said the Japanese commercial activities were the greatest industrial movement the world had ever seen. He said the position was serious and alarming. The Japanese were putting in factories to manufacture high-class goods formerly made only by Western nations, and the prices were' such that no tariff could exclude them. After giving instances of the cheapness of Japanese goods, Sir George said: “What is going to happen to Japan when something other than tariffs is put up against her heaven only knows.”
