INDIA'S TRADE POLICY.

The Government of India is preparing the ground for the definite establishment of a post bellum trade policy.

The first of the four heads of investiga- tion now proceeding in India relates to the treatment of chemy (or Alien) firms and individuals. In the early-months

trade That trade is very important, amounting in total value to about £77,000,000 per annum. The British mer- chant in India is strongly in favour of the principle of reciprocal treatment in coasting and other arrangements. holds that if a foreign country, directly or indirectly, subsidizes its chipping or imposes special charges or restrictions on British or Indian shipping countervail ing charges should be levied and similar restrictions adopted at the Indian ports. Before the war nearly a quarter of the total shipping was in foreign bands, and Germany and Austria contributed no less. than 15 per cent, India is in a position. to bargain for fair treatment, since it is within her competence to prohibitor restrict the employment of lascers on Alien ships. At present there is very little distinction in practice between their engagement for British and non-British

TARIFF PROBLEMS

The Government of India are not pro- posing to elicit from the Local Govern- ments and commercial bodies any general discussion of the principles on which pro- tective or preferential tariffs might he based. Their plan has been to submit material to the Local Governments on specified important items of trade, and

to ask them to consider in respect to each of them how far if at all, protection measures are called for in the economic
