JAPANESE TRADE.
NEW MARKETS 1 SOUGHT. AUCKLAND, March 8. A Japanese journalist, Mr Motosaku Tuchiya, who is visiting Australia and New Zealand with a view to developing Japanese trade, was a passenger by the Maheno. He said in an interview : “We hope that our trade with you will develop to such an extent that we will have a direct line of steamers running between Japan and New Zealand. This would obviate the costs of transhipment at Sydney. The Nippon Yusen Kaisha (a Japanese mail steamship company) could extend its service from Sydney to New Zealand,, but there would be greater advantage In a direct service. At first the service might need to be subsidised by the Japanese Government, hut later on the subsidy could be dispensed with.”
