Osaka, April 9.-The passage of the Indian Tariff Bill is being widely discussed. The consensus of opinion among Japanese cotton manufacturers and traders is that coarse grey Japanese cotton goods will hereafter be barred from India and that, therefore, Japan will be T.230 obliged to push fine bleached and printed goods. The inevitable out. come of this, it is predicted, will be a decrease in the consumption of Indian cotton, an increase in the consumption of American cot- ten and, alas, greater competition

with Lancashire.

The Asahi and Mainichi, both of which comment in their editorial

columns on the passage of the In- dian Tariff Bill, express regret at its passage," pointing cut that the new tariff makes Indians pay more for their cloths and cuts off, the ex- port demand for Indian cotton. They urge a further effort to re- duce the cost of Japanese cotton goods.

The French passion for logical order and lucidity of statement ns- serted itself in their civic architec ture in a manner worthy of the tradition of Imperial Rome, The

Cardinal Richelieu strengthened, the power of the Crown.. and the kings of France having a passion for Palace build- ing, the French period could real. ly be called a Palace Renais- sance. The buildings which were erected during this time included the Palace of Versailles, Pantheon, Palace of Fontainebleau, Louvre, Arc de Triomphe and many large chateaux for the nobility,

The evil effects of despotism and bad government became more mark. ed, and the writers Voltaire, Rousseau and many others weaken- ed authority by their attacks and prepared the ground for the revolu- tion of 1792 which put an end to architectural development.

The speaker concluded by re marking that the French period was marked by the development of Gothic architecture.
