This would, he states, leave an altogether inadequate
reserve for Japan, where demand is increasing, over and
above contracts already made. Probably therefore all
exports to Cylna will have to be dropped, and Manchuria
is likely to be the only "foreign" market which gets
any at all.
He draws the conclusion that Formosan
screage needs to be increased, and production i
organised in South China. He sằmits that competiton
must be expected from Java, for which, he states, ina
is the only remaining free market; but he merely
caya in regard to this that Pormosan production costs
must be reduced, and he keeps to himself sny ideas
which he may have of overcoming Javan competition by
a judicious manipulation of the "open door".
