He said the position was serious and alarming, llie 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: “Wliat is going to happen to Japan when something other than tariffs is put up against her heaven only‘’knows.”.
