JAPANESE TRADE AGGRESSION

TARIFF PRECAUTIONS IN INDIA

THREATS OF DIPLOMATIC CONSEQUENCES United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright CALCUTTA, June 7. Action to check the dumping of Japanese piece goods in India has been taken by the Government of India, which announces an increase of duty from 50 per cent to 75 per cent on plain greys. There are no changes in the duty on other classes of piece-goods, which is surprising, as the competition of Japanese coloured goods is almost as severe as the plain. ARROGANT ATTITUDE OF JAPANESE. STATEMENT BY CONSUL-GENERAL United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received June 8, 9.55 p.m.) CALCUTTA, June 8. The Japanese Consul-General in India, says: “It is unfortunate that India should increase the duty on Japanese cotton piece goods while delicate negotiations are in progress. The decision might have a serious effect on diplomatic relations. Japanese public opinion is indignant at British and Indian attempts to cripple Japanese overseas trade.
