Anglo-U.S. Differences Over Admission Of

Japan To G.A.T.T.

RENEWAL OF "DUMPING" FEARED

From Ernest Ashwick

Geneva, Feb. 9.

Fears of renewed Japanese dumping and cheap labour production have overshadowed for one week the negotiations of the inter-sessional Committee of GATT now meeting in Geneva to discuss Japan's entry is this organisation..

Since the secret meetings commenced last Monday three tides of opinion have become apparent:

1. Britain and the Commonwealth which "in principle" are not against Japan's entry into the organisation, demand guarantees that GÁTT, either through a revision of ita rules or otherwise can restrain Japan from the disastrous return to cheap production and dumping as in the '30)

2. The United States con siders that Japan should be allowed Into GATT as early as possible;

3. Several other member un- tions, including Czechoslovakia, believe that it is premature to discuss

#dmillance of Japan.

For three days special working

party has been deadlock over Britain's desire! to revise GATT rules,

GATT

is a mere administrative change over. Japan must export to live and Japan must live,"

Another objection by Britain to n too quick "hail fellow" entry of Japan is raised by the doubt whether GATT countries can protect themselves against Japanese cheap mass production

by reatering some of the tariffs agreed upon with other nations,

This, however, means that by general increasing a Britai tarif Britain would be obliged to weaken preferences among Commonwealth countries. these are rigidly fixed by agree- ment, the damage is likely to be greater than the safeguards.

The most important British and Commonwealth objection to Japans entry under present rules is that, during negotiations heki in Geneva, Annecy and tariff reductions were Torquay, agreed upon between undelivered after the 23rd February, ions which took no account
