BRITAIN ASKED TO DELAY Jap Trade... U.S. FACES

ACTION ON JEW MIGRANTS

London, Aug. 21.

An appeal to Britain to "hold your hand" was the.

Jewish Agency's answer tonight to the British ultimatum to the Jewish refugees on board the three transports off the south coast of France.

A letter to Mr. Trafford Smith of the Colonial Office from Mr. Berl Locker, member of the Jewish Agency Executive, turned down flatly the suggestion that it should try to persuade the 4,500 Jewish refugees at Port de Bouc, to land in France by 5 p.m. GMT tomorrow, fail- ing which they would be shipped immediately to the British Zone of Germany, and be dis-

embarked at Hamburg.

U.S. BUSINESSMEN SAY PRODUCTS BIG DILEMMA

ARE EXPENSIVE BUT GOOD

Takyo, Aug, 22.

Three American businessmen today agreed tentatively that prices of Japanese products which they came here to pur. chase were high but they also agreed the goods they have seen were of good quality,

There was no official rate of exchange established yet on which prices might be calculated,

According to rules for foreign traders, they cannot com-' piele any transactions for Japanese goods until September 1. 1.J. Marcus (New York Cily), general merchandise dealer. snk prices now on some items were four or five times higher than pre-war.

He said prewar he bought felt hat bodies in Japan at US$2.00 per dozen.

The same articles are now quoted at 2,000 yen a dozen. At the present conversion rate of 50 yen to one green- buck that would be US$40.00 per dozen.

Even at the rate of 200 yen to US$1.00-which has been speculated as the prsible rate of exchange--the price would be US$10. per dozen.--Assaelated Press.
