TRADE TREATY WITH JAPAN.
CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS REASSURED. . CHRISTCHURCH, August 31. Mr F. R. Cooke, acting secretary of the New Zealand Clothing Trades Federation, has received a further letter from the Prime Minister with respect to the commercial • arrangement which was recently made between New Zealand and Japan. The Prime Minister states that the arrangement does not in any way modify the duties in New Zealand on goods imported from Japan. “In these circumstances,” he adds, “you will see that it cannot in any way affect competition between clothing or other goods made in Japan and similar classes of articles manufactured in New Zealand so far as the duties on goods are concerned. The only important result of the arrangement is that New Zealand butter is now admitted into Japan at a lower rate of duty than previously.”
