JAPAN'S LUXURY TARIFF. ITS EFFECT ON BRITISH TRADE. fa a letter addressed to the London Morning Part, & London correspondent offers the following comment on the Lux ury Tariff in relation to British Trade:
In view of your well-know attitude on Protective Tariffs and on the disadvant ages suffered by Free Trade Britain when attempting to bargain with foreign coun- tries, may I draw your attention to the following case, which affects both our trade und labour problems, and is a matter of extraordinary interest to ex porters and manufacturers?
Japan has introduced a 100 per cent. ad valorem luxury tariff, ostensibly with the view of curbing imports and encouraging her own trade, and of course of strengthening her present financial position.
That this new tax will produce an im- mediate decline th our exports to Japan is a foregone conclusion. Both Yorkshire and the idlands are already feeling the first effects. Cancellations of orders have been received in both Bradford and Birmingham, and the same applies to London Far East merchants.
Where it was originally intended to place heavy orders for hardware, sun- dries, and fancy cloths for the forthcom- ing season. there now appears to be almost a complete absence of demand. with the result that factories and mills. already working short hours or with reduced staffs, will find it difficult to maintain even such skeletor establish- ments as they now possess, and, kooner or later, will find themselves obliged to throw more out-of-works on the market.
But this is not all. Thanks to the now practically defunct Anglo-Japanese Con- ventional Turik. thero Are certain articles, quoted by the Kobe correspon, dent of the Manchester Guardian which are exempted from this new tas such as paints, lino yarns, cotton velvets. wool, wool and cotton goods, and bar. pig. and galvanized iron. This exemp tion, or safeguard, already denounced, censes on March 10th of next year, when the Convention is abrogated. What is there then to prevent the. Japanese Gor ernment adding these items to their 100 per cent. list?

There he received a welcome auch as few kings get, and he was the guest of honour at a round of festivities. The hit be made in the Metro- polis is illustrated by this account written by a magazine editor: "Jackie Coogan gave a party to representatives of the Press at the Biltmore Hotel. He treated bis guests to the time of their lives, because, in spite of all the success he has achieved, enough to turn the head of the most modest grown up, Jackie is still the most wonder-
