BELGÍUM'S TRADE...
MISSION TO CHINA AND JAPAN
BRUSSELS, February 22 The Belgian Central Industial Committee gavo a reception to the economic mission to Japan. The Japanone Ambasador expressed-his conviction that the mission would be most quccessful. M. Jasper Baid that Belgium urgently required new outlets abroad for her producte to replace the former markets at her doors.
BRUSSELS, January 13.
A big effort is being made by Belgian' manufacturers, aided by the Govern ment, extend their foreign trade. Under the auspices of the Comité Central Industriel, a Belgian or- gation similar to the Federation of British Industries, a mission, comprising representatives of the leading firms of the country, bas started for the Far East with the avowed object of recapturing pre- war markets for Belgian goods in China and Japan, which have been practically lost since the war.
A similar mission was organised by the Government about a year ago under the direction of M. Bou-! ms which, during the course of 1923, visited the various South Amier Republica and carried out“ s programme of traile' propaganda for Belgian industry. Its effects! nna becoming apparent. Some months ago Brazil placed consider. able orders with Belgian metallurgi- cal firms; and now the Argentine Republic: has placed an order with the Comptoir des Aciéries Belges for 80,000 tons of rails (37 kg.), as well as for railway accessories. · A further order for 54,000 tons of mile is announced, and negotiations have Been opened in connection with the supply of 20 locomotives and 2,000 Waggons,
The Polish Government has just placed an order for 180 locomotives and fer railway, materials, compris. ing signale, points, bolts, etc. The topol
value of foreign orders amounts to hundreds of millions of franes and will have the twofold effect of providing employment and improving the value of the Belgian
franc.
The Minister, of Finance, M. Theunis, has laid before the ChaLA—"| bør & project for the modification of the Custops tariff; 7,200 articles' divided into 21 classes will be 'affect-- ed. The following are the chie points from the point of view of Anglo-Belgian commercial rela-
tions :-
1: The free entry of raw materiala. necessary to Belgian industry, as well as essential articles of food which are not produced in sufficient quantity in Belgium,
2. The increase from 10 to 20 per cent. ad valorem of the duty on paper, metal goods, glass; engines, machinery, and similar manufae- tures.
3. Increase from 1 to 5 per cent. On semi-manufactured goods to be finished by Belgian industry,
4. The maximum tariff will be applied to goods from those coun- tries with which there is no recipro cal tariff, a
