DUTIES EVADED.
DUMPING IN BRITAIN. DUMMY OFFICES SET UP. Received March 11. 11.25 a.m. LONDON, March 9. Tlie Sunday Chronicle says the Government is losing £1,000,000 a year owing to the dumping of foreign goods on which duties are evaded by the establishment of hundreds of dummy British offices, to which the goods are invoiced at fictitious low prices from foreign headquarters. For example, 35,000,000 pairs of stockings from German and Japanese cheap labour factories were dumped in Britain in 1934 at below 3d per pair.
