FRANK ANGLO-JAPANESE O TALKS ON TRADE: VISIT OF ECONOMIC MISSION

London, To-day.

Great frankness cordially prevailed during the discussions on Thursday and Friday between the Japanese economic mission to Britain and the Federation of British Industries, according to a communique issued by the latter.

Subjects discussed included restrictions on Japanese goods in a number of British markets, the possibility of co-operation on the basis of agree- ments between individual industries and the ques- tion of trade marks and patents.

The Japanese complained of an unfair incidence of a discrimina- tory nature of quotas and other restrictions on Japanese cotton rayons in some British Domin- ions and Colonies..

The British side pointed out

that several quotas affecting

the bulk of Japanese trade so affected were the result of ac-

tion taken by the independent

Dominions.

Nevertheless, Japanese exports generally continued to grow and the quotas only applied to a small fraction of the Japanese export markets.
