by legislation to the stipulations with regard to false indications of origin contained in the International Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property.

I at once referred the substance of your Excellency's communication to the Department of Agriculture and Commerce, and I am now in receipt of a reply from the Minister of that Department stating that, although the use of Roman letters on labels in the case of goods manufactured in Japan as a means to deceive ordinary Japanese into the belief that the goods are of foreign manufacture may be regarded as unfair competition, no restrictions can be placed solely on the use of Roman letters. With reference to the question of legislation to give still more adequate effect to the provisions of the Joint Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property in regard to the control of unfair competition in commercial goods, the matter is at the present moment under investigation in its various aspects by the Department of Agriculture and Commerce.

In communicating the above reply to your Excellency, I take, &c.
