NEW JAPANESE TARIFF.
BRITISH TRADE THREATENED. (By Electbio Telegraph—Copyright.) (Ph» Pbebs association.) LONDON, May 26. Mr H. C. Wilcbx, secretary of the China Association, in ,a letter to The Times, which The Times describes as important and convincing, shows that the new Japanese tariff will deal a serious blow to British trade. The rates on many articles are doubled, several are trebled, and the large majority of those articles chiefly imported from Britain are increased. The rates when enforced will compel many British firms trading to Japan to abandon the business there. Mr Wilcox quotes Baron Komura's speech, reported in the Japan Mail on January 31, in which he said that England, being a perfectly free trade country, had no means of purchasing tariff concessions from other nations.
