DUMPING IN INDIA

JAPANESE PIECE GOODS. RUINATION OF HOME TRADE. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Calcutta, June 12. The insinuations by Mi* Miyak, Con-sul-General for Japan in India, that the ‘‘underlying motive” for increased tariffs against imported Japanese piece goods is that Britain should regain what she lost by the Indian boycott and that the whole business has been engineered in the interests of Manchester, are strongly resented. After surveying the Indian piece goods industry, which has been brought to complete ruination by Japanese dumping, the Calcutta newspaper Englishman says: “The propaganda has been carried on by the Japanese authorities in India and is ill-advised. It would not be tolerated except in such an easy-going Empire as the British. It is designed to create ill-will between Lancashire and India and prove that Lancashire, and not Japan, is the enemy of Indian industrialism.” FEELING IN JAPAN ANTI-BRITISH PROPAGANDA. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Kobe, June 12. A unanimous decision was assured to-day in the Japanese cotton spinners’ boycott of Indian cotton. Anti-British propaganda is increasing, the general declaration being that duties on Japanese cotton goods have been forced by the British Government against Indian wishes. Publicists discuss the advisability of assisting Indian emancipation from the alien yoke and the Foreign Office declares that world peace is jeopardized.
