JAPAN AND THE SUGAR TRADE Among the correspondance paklished in the annml report of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce is a letter of very considerablo length, Een en behalf of the Chamber nearly a year age to the Hon. J. Stowert Lockhart, the Colonial Secretary, pointing out what a seriou effect the new Treaty concluded between Japan sad Great Britain is likely to have upon the rger Interests of Hongkong. It appears from. the correspondence which passed between. the Foreign Ofte in Whitehall and the Colonial Office in Hongkong in 1694 and since the sign ing of the Treaty, that the Japanese Govern. ment considered the levy of duties upon sugar a fundamental part of their proposals. Thi solicitude of the Japanese Governmont to relyin free hand in respect to sugar, the Chamber of Commerce thinki, might have suggested to the Forsiga Ofise that Japan had in view proponès calculated to prove inimical to the sugar iz dustries at Hongkong, and they complain, there fore, that these were not communicated to the Hongkong Gorerament,white the Treaty.M under consideration. Lord Ripon stated in the cone of tits correspondence that the Jansnett conditions were acopted after consultation with Mr. Keswick, a partuor in the firm of MeaRTE.. Jardine, Mathawon & Ca, the oxiA OBO of the sugar refineries at Hongkong. The duty is ona of 10 par acnt, and the Foreign Office apposre to have committed the inexcusable mistake of making their caloulations on a "gold buit when they look the matter into consider tion. The sugar refting industry in Great Britain has decayed almost to insignificanes during the last fifty years, int because there is dimished domsund, but because the ten dency is to establish refineries where the cane is grown, OF AN ZANT Ky possible to the plantations. Considering the fact, too, the Japan in a silver using country, and that ecmpetition in the industry on the part of the people of Japan must attack the British re incries at Hongkong, it is somewhat surprising that the Foreign Office did not consider the question on the silver basis. Tho Chamber of Commerce point out that the prion of refined sugar in Japan was like silver, abnormally high for the six-monthly period selected for, tarning the at calorem duties into a specific tax, and, looking the preest relative value of silver and gold, the duty to be impers by Japan is not so part

the Foreign Office imagined, oularly light The object of the Japanese Gorerament, it is obrious, was to encourage sugar retning this country. An important project in the connection is now staring in Osaka. Agents DE the Company are now visiting refineries in Europe. Teilors have been invited from overal Europoon firms for about 300 tons of chinery and very abortly we may expect to Lear of a contract being concluded. The Government has certainly bean icing its leval best to encourage the industrial enterprise of the peole. Ibey Love abolished the import dutie O raw cotton and wool in order to gire a to these branches of manfatio; and in Treaty with Great Britain care has been ta not to impose a tax on the import of raw Hence, the Hongkong Chamber of Commoros points out that the duty impered on the import of refined sugar, taken at 30 cents per pic, or £112 93. por tan, is, to all intents and par posas, direct bounty of that sum to the
