it will be observed that the increases are still very great, despite the mitigation which the new £8,909,000 | arrangement will afford. It must be left to 25,939,000 experts to dooide how far the rates as reduced by convention will affect the position of the £2,969,000 | articles scheduled, but I understand that those €124 interested in textiles believe that the rednotions 24,040. affected are on the whole satisfactory. While the increased prise to the consumer will for a while cause a decline in the import, it is not believed that the protection afforded will enable Japan to compote in textiles with Lancashire. Time will show whether this opinion is or is not correct. It may be that the increase in the cost of living in Japan given by the additional tura of the tariff screw, and its inevitable corollary in the increase in cost of production, will cause a reaction in Japan against a policy which must. add so materially to the burdens of the people. In this connection it is note worthy that the conventional tariff does nothing to mitigate the rigour of the increased duties on provisions imported for the use of foreigners. That was a hopeless issne from the outset, however, for the various items are not sufficiently large to arouse the interest of say foreign Government and thus obtain their inclusion in a conventional tariff. For eign residents will only indirectly benefit from the reduction is the items included in the con- ventional tarif.

But even if such an event should tako place during the next twelve years, it is most improbable that s sciontife tariff" could be framed within that time likely to affect the tariff relations of Japan and Eng lard. Consequently this clause is in praction wholly one-sided. It will afford Japan a messs of bringing pressure to bear on England which in the very terms of the case cannot be used by England against Japan. It furthermore re maven the essential quality of security against constant changes of rates, and leaves the con- ventional tariff almost as much open to periodical revision as the statutory tariff.

Some clue as to its magnitude may, however, be obtained from a comparison of the value of the nat imports (import less re-exporis) of raw rubber, which in 1907 amounted to £4,824,000 at port of landing with the total cost of materials of all kinds-£6,939,000-re turned to the Conens Offse by firms working in rubber. After allowing for the cast of fael and subsidiary materials used by those firms, it appears that the amount of dupli- estion involved, including that already mention- ed, does not exceed three-quarters of a million ponude sterling. The value of rubber goods as sold for consumption outside of the rubber trade roxported would thus be about eight million pounds sterling, and the total value of the whole outpat of the factories and workshops covered by the tables now pablished would, taken as a whole, be about 8 million pounds sterling. some months ago to the British Foreign Offles foreigners, to the disadvantage of the latter.
