Permanent Inclusion Opposed In Tokyo Says Report

TOKYO, Feb. 6. FINANCIAL and trading cir- cles in Tokyo are believed to be opposing suggestions that Shang-

hai should be permanently in- cluded in the "yen bloc" in con- nection with foreign exchange dealings.

Financial circles believe that exclusion is necessary

in order that Japan can secure trade in Shanghai.

Since the outbreak of hostili- tles, the Japanese Government has enforced restrictions on ex- ports to Central China vi Shanghai.

No foreign traders have been permitted to use the Yangtze River for trading purposes.

Japanese financial and trading elreles who are now advocating the removal of restrictions are prompted In their ogitation by the hope that Japan will be able to oblain

The Japanese polley in the past has been that dealings in foreign currency have been unnecessary in Central China, because the special Bank of Japan notes, issued to Japanese troops, have been ciretdating in large quantities, and could be used for the purpose of trade-Domet,

The Japanese yen notes issued to troops in Chian are practiently value- less, and are used by the troops to burchase goods at a large discount. Foreign Institutions will not handic them.
