YOUR TELEGRAM NO.CREDA 183: JAPANESE TEXTILE EXPORTS TO CANADA.
WE HAVE SPOKEN TO MIZOGUCHI, HEAD OF THE SECOND WORTH
AMERICAN DIVISION IN THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, ABOUT THIS.
ACCORDING TO HIM JAPAN EXERCISED VOLUNTARY EXPORT CONTROL
ON EXPORTS TO CANADA OF ALL SYNTHETIC FIBRE SHIRTS FROM
1959 OR 1963. IN 1967 THE JAPANESE PERSUADED THE CANADIANS
TO REDUCE THE AREA OF CONTROL TO POLYESTER/COTTON SHIRTS ONLY
ON THE GROUNDS OF PARITY WITH HONG KONG.
E
THIS SPRING CANADA ASKED FOR AN EXTENSION OF VOLUNTARY
EXPORT CONTROL BY THE JAPANESE TO ALL HAN-MADE FIBRE SHIRTS.
THE JAPANESE HAVE NOT SO FAR AGREED TO THIS SENICOLON THEIR TALKS
WITH THE CANADIANS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE FOR SOME TIME YET
WITH THE JAPANESE DRAGGING THEIR FEET. MIZOQUCHI POINTED
OUT HOWEVER THAT THIS CANADIAN REQUEST WAS NOT THE MAIN TEXTILE
ISSUER THE TRADE TALKS SEMICOLON OF MORE IMPORTANCE WAS THE
CANADIAN REQUEST FOR THE EXTENSION OF VOLUNTARY EXPORT CONTROL
TO POLYESTER/COTTON FABRICS (AS OPPOSED TO SHIRTS).
