"Japan the Chronicle. It will held a general meeting within a few days in or- der to prepare a memorial to be submitted to the Government.
Executives of the Kyogikal are not necessarily opposed to the pro- posed adoption of a licensing sys tem. They are ready to support the plan if the Government will modify it properly. First of all, they intend to request the Gov- ernment to relax Article 20 and other clauses relative to Govern- inent supervision of the industry.. as they are at present so strict that traders find it difficult to do business. They also express the hope that the Government will de- vise measures for the encourage- ment of foundries working on low content ores.
