Rationing in Japan It was decided at a meeting of the Japanese Cabinet recently that the rationing system should be adopted for sugar and matches in the six principal cities of Japan. It was simultaneously decided to pro - hibit or restrict luxury and nonurgent goods. The distribution of sugar will be about 661 b a month for each person, and of matches five splints a day for each person. Capital Scheme Delayed

The refusal of the Minister of Finance, under the Finance Emergency Regulations, No. 2, to give consent has caused delay to the scheme for the reorganisation of the capital of Newton King, Limited, New Plymouth. The proposals already had been carried at meetings of shareholders, and the sanction of the Supreme Court was to have been applied for. It is now proposed to make further approaches to the Minister to induce him to reconsider his decision. In the event of his consent not being given, the directors intend to pay to preference shareholders one year’s dividend.
