Japan Dropping Out of World Markets

London, To-day.

One of the causes of the extremely disadvantageous decline in commodity prices is the Sino-Japan- ese war, declared Mr. Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of Trade, in the House of Com- mons yesterday.

RECALL OF THE

Mr. Stanley thought the war had a much great- er effect on commodity prices and world trade than was fully realised by people in Britain. "China, in a period of two or - three years, provided an increasing market for British export goods, and many of us, impressed by the new life and organisation in China, by the greater security and pros- pects and by the rising standard of life, were looking to this immense market as a possible solution to many of the export difficulties Britain and other countries.
