French Ban May Not Seriously Hurt Japan's Trade

TOKYO, May 5.

THE FOREIGN Office, is understood to have received official reports from the Japanese authorities in Paris to the effect that the French Government on May 3 published a decree banning the import into France and French colonies of Japanese goods, ex- cepting raw silk and camphor, without certificates of origin issued by the competent French authorities in Japan, effective on and after May 10,

Although these reports are. now drawing considerable attention of Government authorities and business eireles, traders do not necessarily hold a pessimistic view for the future of Franco-Japanese trade, believing: that the Government authorities will redouble their efforts to readjust these matters in trade discussions now taking place between France and Japan.

Japanese traders believe that the new French measure will not seriously affect Japan's exports to Franco and French colonies, in
