Since the appointment of Mr Zeko Nakamur s mayor of Tokyo the question of foreign loans has been bought before the authori ties of the Finance Department, and it was finally decided the Government

country may go back to the basis next year. But the Japanese Gov. gold ernment is reported to have reached an agreement with British financial circles regarding tho Tokyo Municipal loan. The loan is likely to be floated in Loz- don during April or May next year

The

Speaking at Dudley Chamber of Com- meroc on November 25th, Mr. Stanley Mackin, president of the Association of Chambers of Commerce, said that unless the new Government dealt with the ques-. tion of tariffs there would be many repe titions of the decision of Huntley and Falmer to

ercot factories abroad. His firm had decided to erect a factory `in France The Chambers of

the Economic Conference of the Empire, and whose decisions were fouted, now urged that the new Government should

Some things are valuable because they are rare, sir; others are valuable because they are good, but it doesn't follow that all good things are expensive.
