Japan And IMPERIAL

The Indo-China War

Tokyo, Apr. 8.

The Japanese Diet today plunged into a "serious dis- cussion" on the question of possible Japanese interven- tion in the Indo-China war.

Socialist Legislators pressed for an answer to the big ques- tion of whether Japan had received any messages from the United States concerning inter- vention. They also wanted to know whether Japanese troops would be sent to Indo-China should the Red Chinese openly enter the war.

Communist

Spy Trial Disclosures

London, Apr. 8.

A Communist spy trial defendant testified in Tirana, Albania, yesterday that former King Zog of Albania sent him into the country on an espionage mission after conferring with General MacArthur and Senator Taft in America.

Radio Tirana broadcast blow-by-blow proceedings of the trial of eight "criminal diversionist bandits" accused of parachuting into Albania on orders of "American imperialists".

In The House

Of Commons

London, Apr. 9.

A Government spokesman in the House of Commons last night defended the policy of allow- ing imports under Imperial preference of woollen gloves from Hongkong.

Mr Derick Heathcoat-Amory, Minister of State at the Board of Trade, said Britain had to bear in mind the needs of Hongkong, with its increased population and its traditional trade with the Chinese mainland severely disrupted.

Mr Heathcoat-Amory was replying to a short debate on a motion for adjournment to Mr John Peyton, Conservative member for Yeovil, în Somerset, centre of Britain's glove-making in- dustry.

Mr Peyton had suggested that the steep rise in imported woollen gloves from Hongkong was seriously threatening the home industry.

Recalling that 184,038 dozen woollen gloves were imported from Hongkong last year, Mr Peyton said the imported cost to the wholesaler here was 30 shillings and two pence a dozen. Labour costa alone in manu-

facturing the British home product was

43 shillings and three pence.

Under Imperial preference the imported glove bore less tax,

In Hongkong 60 hours a week were worked for about a third less wages than in Britain.

Mr Peyton said if

Government

Preferences were going to work should take precautions to see that they did not become racket with Chinese goods being Imported via Hongkong.

In his reply, Mr Heathcoat Amory said the Government had no evidence whatever to suggest that gloves other than

those made in Hongkong had qualified for Imperial preference,
