TARIFF CHANGES
AUSTRALIA MODIFIES SCALE FOR JAPAN United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received June 17, 12.20 a.m.) CANBERRA, June 16. As an inducement to Japan to reopen the trade treaty negotiations, the Commonwealth Government is prepared to transfer Japanese goods from the general tariff division to the intermediate. This would reduce the duty on Japanese rayon from 9.d to 8d a yard, and on cotton piece goods by id all round. Australia is also prepared to undertake to ensure that Japan retains at least half of Jier present textile trade, while facilities will also be afforded for Japan steadily to expand her Australian trade as a good customer country.
