LUXURIES IN JAPAN, PROPOSAL TO CHECK HOME TRAVE

AS WELL AS IMPORTS.

A Dill providing for increased duties on luxuris is being drawn up by the Department of Agriculture and Com merce and the Department of Finanes in co-operation. According to the Japanese Press, it is doubtful whether it will be ready for the present session of the thick, The Government favours prohibitive duties in order to protect home industry. check the adverse trade balance, pervent the decline of specie held abroad and restrain, the extravagant habits of the nation, so that the economic rehabitation may be hasteaed,"

Sine thrift is one of the purposeg aimed at in this leasure, it is pointed out it soone papers that charges should be made on the uno sent on banquets, jewellery, silk fabrics and toilet articles made in Japan. This position is said to be taken by some members of the Cabinet, and will be, incorporated in the "Bill Also it is argued that a rise should be made in duties on woollen fabrics to carry out one of the purposes-protection of home industries and tilt of im ports The artilies with it, is propos ed to place under a bear imported to the extent of Y-130,000,000 a year.

It is suggested that an embargo, or at least prohibitive duties, be placed on watches, fittings and accessories, toilet articles, high grasle beverages, coffee, tea, high-grade perfume soaps, períamers.. precious metals and stones, motor-cars and parts, and on certain kinds of wool- len yarns and cloths

Theythuty un platinum and gold wrist watches is Y.10.50 and pocket watches Y5.00 silver watches Yo nickel watches Y.1.10, and table clocks 10 per cont.

Hower high the duty may be raisedJapan can make no watches, only cases, clocks, and table clocks The only way of moderating the proposed high duty is to import the works and put on the cases in Japan. The duty on watch- works is 10 sen at present, which it is believed will not be raised. About 500 case-makers are still idle ziner the great earthquake which burnt out their fac- tories, and it is expreted that watches can i cased comparatively cheaply at

home.

In the case of jewels. the Customs duty ou diamonds has been only 5 per cent. since 1911, If the 50 per cent. duty in vogue in 1907 were revived, a diamond worth 4.2,000 to-day would cost Y3,000. On imitation rubies, sapphires, ad the 13ke. 50 per cent. is proposed. "

The duty on imported toilet articles, such as powder, cream, ointment. soap,

is Louth powder, perfumery, and razors, to be 50 to 60 per coat.

Woollen yarns are in big demand; and they came chiefly from Britain. The im port in the last fiscal year exceeded. Y.30.000.000, which was six times the figure recorded three years previously. Naturally just after the war Britain was reclothing herself Brit.)

Coffee, tea, and cocoa, imported mainly from Holland, followed by other Euro- pean countries, and America, are the products of Hawaii, Java, Brazil, India, and Ceylon, and find their way to Japan after passing through numerous-chan- nels and, therefore, they are very high- priced when they appear on the Japanese market, though low at their producing centres. Coeda is taxed at Y., coffee at Y.25.10, and tea at Y.22.00 per pitul.

Thew articles are to come within the scope of the new heavy duties. Shizuoka black tea and Formosan Oolong" will perhaps enjoy greater prosperity if given a monopoly.

Such is the plight of thousands. They 'dread mealtimes, for they know that suffer." ing will follow; they know that; diet as they will, digestive disorder is remorseless, and it has them in its grip: The pity of it' is that such suffering is quite unnecessary. A Gittle aaayloctor can tell you.

been discussing plans to control the trade situation by putting an effective check on foreign luxeries marketed in Japan, the scheme having been suggested at the conference of the Customs commissioners hed a little while ago. The other day we translated the views of Mr Taka- Imai Minister of Agriculture and Com- as published in the Japanese Press He pointed out the gravity of the situation, but was doubtful if a sharp line of denuarention could be, drawn be tween what was a luxury and what was nét, and that unless it could be done, it was practically impossible to bar those Juxuries. According to the lu Jiji, the Finance Office is in despair. «It has found the impracticability of such a plan as exemplifed by many cases afforded by different nations. Three high officials called on Mr. Hamaguchi, Minister of Finance, to report on the matter; and discussed the subject with out coming to any definite restilt. The J thinks the bill, if. framed at all, will not be io than for the special session of the Diet-Japan-Chronicle.
