Japan's "Act1: Ities in South Africa,

In providing certain classes goods for South Africa, it was not necessary for Japan to wait until hosti ities began to oust the Ger- mans. In many lines of Kaffir truck. for example, the market was originally dominated by the United Kingdom. In the course of time German cheapness drove... cut the British article Thea: the Italians ejected the Germans, and finally the Japanese were left in possession of a very con- siderable portion of the trade. This is a kind of trade that Japan may readily told and extend, and there are other d partments of commerce in which its cheep Jabour will make competition difficult. Labour conditions may, for instance, help material'y in marketing low class cotton. goods and similar articles int constant demand by natives and Asiatics" in South and British-East Africa. Japan has recently imported large quanti ties of spinning machicery from the United Kingdom, and has also manufactù ed a good deal of machinery, ssthat a considerably increased output will shortly I make itself apparent. For this increased output South Africa will supply a large and ready" market, at any rate, while the war lasts; and it is hardly prób- - able that. Japan has made the recent large additions to its spinning, machinery equipment. with the demad occasioned by the war alone in contemplation. With characteristic enterprise, J-pan has recently, had a búsi» ness c «mmision in South Africa investigating local conditions. Banklar, shipping, and commer 4ial interests were all represented en it, and its members neglected no opportunity of familiarising themselves with what South. Africa wants with a view tɔ what.. Japan can supply. The following articles Japan is prepared to furnish now on reasonable terms: |--Apparelļand alops, basket ware, brush ware, cotton piece goods, blankets and shawls (cotton for native trade), cheap cotton hosiery and underclothing, beads, shell bangles · looking-glasGOS, silk handkerchiefs, shoe laces.

In 1911 Japan sent to Bouth Africa goods valued at £17,000 in 1915 it supplied £120 000 worth; and in the first six months of 1916 the value was £198 000. This great in- crease has taken place in spite of shipping arrangements, which have been admittedly inadequate. A regular direct service between Japan and South Africs is now maintained by a British line and a Japanese line. The Nippon Yusen Keisha and other lines are largely engaged in the carry® ing trads to South Africa, and it, is probable that existin. cargo: 120flit es batween the two coun- tries will be greatly extended In the near future.
