TRADE PIRACY
ALLEGED AGAINST JAPAN. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright CALCUTTA, November 1. A strong accusation of trade marks piracy against Japan, and an equally vehement denial are edifying the Indian business world. The discussion began when the chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce declared that Japanese cotton goods manufacturers and traders in India were copying English trade marks and trade designs. As a result of this piracy Lancashire was losing thousands of sterling annually. Mr S. Kurihare, Consul for Japan, in an interview, characterises the allegations as absolutely baseless, and emphasised that Japanese manufacturers and traders had no need to copy English trade marks and design of cloths. Piece goods merchants in Calcutta and Bombay consider that the time has arrived for strong action to be taken.
