for the better setting lo” According to a certain Japanese who has just returned from investīgai. ing the camphor market in Europe and America, there are already" aix"factories" io France, Germany,Find Belgium, manufactur ing a substitute for camphor from turpentine. As the methods of manufacturing, artificial camphor-become-more-and-mora-perfect- the price of the manufactured article will be- come lower and its quality better, with, the resut that it well quickly drivę tent camphor from the European and American' marketu, as in fact is doing. There is also another sub stance, which is rapidly cutting the Japanese camphora by-product from the manufactuin of aniline dyes: It costs very little to produce, and at a disinfectant and a substitute for camphor in the manufacture of celluloid it is in no way inferior to the real article... Another reason, for the present embarrassed state of the camphor tekde, is the fact that when the monopoly was taken from the foreign Company the Japanese authorities im. mediately rained be, price of camphor kom 136,10 1968, per 100 king to the great detti. ment of the celluloid manufacturers, who con- sequently agreed to boycott japanese campäar. Since that time, therefore,, wasa inay are in uced of any natutal'camphor they purchase it spindly from iba Chinese. In the U.S.A. Mr. Tani, a Secretary of the Formusan Govern KARE ment, and Mt. Fukui, of the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha, made graal efforts to "increase the demand for Japalusis camphor and for a shon
Line met with some success; but the market soon became very weak, being unable to compete with arucial camphor and substitutes, as: is the case in Europe. Some me ago, Baron Goto, ao return. ing from a visit to Germany; stated that act: cial camphor would never be a serious com petitor of Gatural camphor. At that time the price of Japanese camphor was very low, but at us prénát high price boib ditificial camphor and substitutes are to a good position to replace it, on the market, The Japanese Government are ubaving a very short-sighted and avaricious policy in adhering to such a bigh price as 1961, par zob kig, when the cost of manufacture is only toos, and unless prompi action is taken, in the maiter and the manage- ment of the monopoly put into compereat banda's will never be a source of profit to the country, Koba terpid,
