JAPANESE COMPETITION BRITISH INDUSTRIES SUFFER “MENACE TO COLONIES” (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.40 p.m.) London, July 21. The question of Japanese competition was raised in the House of Commons by Mr T. Levy, who declared that it was a menace to the colonies. Two valuable British industries, silk and cotton, were being killed by the low standard of wages and conditions of life in Japan. Sir Philip Cunliffc-Listef, Secretary of State for the Colonies, said that he, in conjunction with the Board of Trade, was engaged in negotiations with the Japanese Government, which he hoped would be successful. If not it was certain that the Government would be prepared to take whatever steps were necessary to protect British interests. Japanese competition was serious and must be dealt with as a separate proposition.
