The Kobe Chamber of Commerce has passed a re- solution urging the Govern- ment to break off the Delhi Conference and to withdraw the Japanese delegates owing to the prohibitive na

new Indian ture of the tariff.

Kobe and Osaka merchants have drawn the Government's at- tention to the prohibitive rates. giving as examples tea sets, 560 per cent., and kultted goods, from 50 to 230 per cent.
