TRADE WAR IN THE PACIFIC

#1

With the publication in Tokio recently of an limperial Decree invoking the Trade Safeguarding Act against Australia, economic war is joined in the Pacific. How long mutual discrimination will continue between Japan and Australia is a matter of specula- tion, but, since it is obviously in the interests of both countries that a compromise should reached, negotiations for a settle" ment are hurdly likely to be un- duly delayed. Behind the firm attitude taken up by the stater- men of both countries the desire for a settlement may be clearly discerned. Mr. Lyons. the Federal Prune Minister. nounces that no hasty measureN will be taken by Australia and the Japanese Consul-General in Sydney states that once Japan has been granted a fair measure of reciprocity she will alleviate or withdraw altogether the severe restrictions now imposed under the Safeguarding Act. The pro- blem facing Australia and her method of dealing with it are by no means, novel, Japanese com petition. based on à devalued currency and a low standard of living, has induced country after country to regulate the inrush. of Japanese manufactured goods
