Economic Conditions

To Be Studied

During Saturday's conversations with the Japanese Foreign. Minister in Tokyo, Sir Robert Craigle again raised the question of continued unti-British agitation in the Japanese controlled areas of Chiria, especially the demonstrations and the difficulty of food supplies in Tientsin.

The Conference has appointed a joint committee of six to study possible means of settling the economic questions. The joint committee will meet this morning, after which the round table conference will resume at 4 pm, this afternoon.

.

In London the report from Sir Robert on the difficulties concerning the currency problem was studied during the week- end by Lord Halifax, Foreign Secretary. It is probable, that before the conference is resumed Sir Robert will be in possesalon of his Government's observations on his report.

In Hongkong Mr. Eugene Chen, former Foreign Minister, Issued a statement denouncing the British formula with Japan saying that its probable consequences may prove grave to Chinese resistance.

The anti-British boycott movement in Tientsin, Peiplug and North China remains unchanged. · In Peiping Police visited Chinese shops, instructing them to remove their British goods. Chinese trade guilds, however, opposed, complaining against the loss of trade.

a

Japan Expected To Gain From New Barter Pact

Tokyo, July 30.

The new trade agreement between Japan and Germany will balance the commercial relations between Japan, Manchukuo and Germany under the barter system, the Chugai Shogye, leading commercial daily, points out.

Japan will make more purchases of machinery, iron, steal and other materials necessary for the expansion of productive capacity from Germany, according to the Asahi Shimbun. Ger- many in turn will buy more fish oil, blubber, raw silk, and agricultural products from japan,

The Asahi Shimbun reveals that negotiations are in progress for the conclusion of a barter agreement between Germany and North China.

Meanwhile, the trade between Japan and Cermony in the past has been heavily unfavourable to Japan. In 1936, Japan bought Yen 115,499,000, from Germany and sold Yen 35,054,000 to it; in 1937, japan bought Yen 176,362,000 and sold Yon 43,260,000; and in 1938, Japan bought Yen 171,179,000 and sold Yen 33,015,000. During the first five months of this year japan exported Yen 16,041,000 to Germany and Imported Yen 61,201,000 from Germany.-Domci.
