JAPAN REVIEW
Japan's Trade Ambitions
"I know no nation where patriotism is so intense and where every person is prepared to make such sacrifices for their country. Man, woman and child is fred in Japan with enthusiasm for their country," declared Sir Chimanlal Setalvad, leader of the Liberal party in Bombay ang prominent lawyer, in an interview in Singapore when he passed through recently on his return to India from a prolonged visit to Japan, where he studied Industrial conditions.
There is no sweated labour in Japan. Labourers in factories are inspired by the fact that they are working for their country. There are 3.000 factories in Osaka working double shifts and no other country in the world can possibly compete with them," he said.
Asked how the war would affect industry, Sir Chimanlal said: "Japanese' industries naturally will suffer during the war but I think that difficulties in floating the huge proposed loan will be over- come by the intense patriotism of the nation"
Sir Chimanial explained that 80 per cent. of Japan's population were farmers and that all industry, commerce and trade were con- trolled by four or five big familles-for example the Mitsui family.
"These people are fabulously rich and intensely patriotic. They are pouring in money whilst millions of yen have been collected by private individuats-all I can say it is an amazing phenomenon,” said Sir Chlaanial
.
"I studied labour conditions and the habitations of the people and consider they are far ahead of corresponding conditions in Buro- pean countries. Fed By Employers
"The world talks et Japan's sweated labour-well look at the girls in the spinning and weaving Industry.

Mr. J. Whyatt, Assistant Attor ney General, conducted the prose cution, whilst accused, who plead- ed not gulity, was represented by Mr. H. C. Macnamara, instructed by Mr. J. T. Prior of Messra. W kinson and Grist.
The jury empanelled for the case were Messrs. J. Rodger (fora- man), C. Blum, Tsu Eoo-chien, C.. Crofton, A. Vannihi, Lan Book-ki and G. H. Gompertz.
Outlining the case for the Crown Mr. Whyatt declared that the case was an unusual orie, so unusual in fact that he ventured to say with- out exaggeration, that the jury had never come across any like it before.
Continuing. Counsel reminded the jury that their duty was to rétum a verdict in accordance with the principles of criminal law, and further submitted that the dispute which led to the tragic affair was over a trivial matter- the use of a billiards table.
HEART FAILURE Counsel went on to say that on the evening in question, accused and two friends were "playing at the table, when deceased and Gunner Loftus came in. A dispute arose as to the length of time one was entitled to play. and it was alleged that in the course of the
