Labour Conditions

· Defended

A 32,000-mile tour around the world to spread the name and good-will of Japanese trade, and to study industrial conditions in other countries is being under- taken by a party of 31 Japanese business

(ot men and whom there are two), who arrived in Singapore last week by the Scharnhorst. "

wonen

The tour, which is under the auspices of the Japan Trade Fro- motion Association, embraces near- ly all the leading nations of the world. including Malaya, Java, India, Italy, Egypt, Switzerland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Hun-

Sweden, gary. Germany, way, Denmark. Holland, Belgium, France, Great Britain and America.

The women in the party are the principal and assistant principal of the Marine Louise Beauty School of Tokyo, and the other members of the party represent nearly all the industries of Japan.

In an interview with a "Malaya Tribune" representative, Mr. Otolchi Kinoshita. the tour- manager of the party who is the executive director of the Japan Trade Promotion Association, sald that this was the sixth round-the- world Nippon businessmen's party.

They left Tokyo on June 19 and would be back in Japan on Oct.

"Our aim is to make contact with business men of other nations, and to promote goodwill and Japanese trade.

"We have already conducted Ave such tours in each of the previous years, thrice this way, and twice by way of Soviet Russia. This time it was to have been via that way, but on account of internal, unrest in Russia, we changed our plans and came this way instead."

JAPAN'S TRADE EXPANSION Questioned as to Japan's trade, Mr. Kinoshita admitted that in very recent years, Japan's trade had not made very rapid progress. "We cannot always go fast," he remarked. "Sometimes we must rest: "

Textiles, cotton, silk and rayon were some of the major industries in Japan, and in reply to allega- tions against the poor quality of Japanese products, manufacturers we're now bringing out a better quality of goods.

LABOUR CONDITIONS So far as labour conditions were concerned, allegations of unfair treatment were without founda- tion

"I have been to a great many factories in Europe and America," Mr. Kinoshita said. “and I have come to the conclusion that bet ter conditions are prevailing for the workers in Japan than in most
