COTTON TRADE IN THE EAST.
London, June 11. In an address at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, Sir Maneckji Dadabhoy, a member of tho Council of State of India, and a prominent Indian industrialist, declared that the Japanese cotton trade competition was going to menace the world unless, steps were taken in time both in England and in India. Britain must cheapen the cost of production. He suggested that the Indian import duty of 11% per cent might be increased to 20 or 26 per cont against foreign manu- factures and reduced to say five por.cont in the case of England,
Mr. J. H. Rodier, chairman of the India section of the Chamber declared that if in order to choapon production the standard of living of the workers in England must be reduced to the standard of Japan, Britain would profor to lose its preponderance in the cotton trade. He was of the opinion that the competitive power of Japan was increased by the inflation of the yen. The cheapness of Indian cotton last year and this was an advantage which might only be temporary:
Sir Edward Rhodes, who has just returned from the Far East gald that he was convinced that Japan was a country that was making most rapid and most dangerous progress against us in India and the traders In the Far East, including China were most afraid of Japan even in regard to fine goods.—Reuter.

The result will be a situation neces-' aitating international. correspondence and forcing United States interests into the rubber production business.-Reuter.
