Manchukuo SCOURGE OF SONG

Trade

Now No Foreign Market

For Produce

Hainking, July 4. When Ilaly entered the wor, Mon- chukuo lost the last of its foreign Trade outside the yen bloc. Manchukuo's foreign trade had been limited to Germony, which market was closed in September on the out- break of war, and Italy, which has now been cut off by the British Navy, The extension of the European War to Denmark and Scandinaviù resulted in the loss of the annual volume of 4,000 enelele, tons of soya beans worth $500,000, Thus the war, despite non- Involvement of Japan, Gods Japan considerably affected,

Japan, sorely pressed by her China exploits, is hanging grimly on to her economic balance, with Manchukuo adding its little weight. The develop- ment of Manchukuo, enrdinal necessity in the attalement of Japan's economic designs, has become in- creasingly dimeuit. Previously. lack- ing foreign exchange, Japan had bartered Manchukuo beans for Ger- rean and Italian machines. Now bath Manchukuo's much publicised trade treaties with the Axis Powers are nullifed.

From September until her entry into the war, Italy had been Man- cbukuo's only foreign customer. As with the Monchukun-Reich agree- the Italo-Manchukuo pact was ment, based on a bartèr system, koyn beans, perialin oil, peanuts, and mugnesla, being Manchukuo's chief assets, which she traded for machinery, vehicles and leather. She was able to get $11.70 per picut for beans computed in United States currency, which woa

much better rate than could be

obtained in the United States.

Broadcasting Complications

Broadcasting seemed to plicate matters at first, but eventu- ally the P.RS. came to an brrangement on behalf of its mein-

receive a fee varying between three shillings and ninepence and five shillings every time a piece of his, work was broadcast. Moreover, the fee was payable for every station transmitting and even it

A vast amount of musle is brandeust or dispensed by gramophone re- cords; they also pay a fee.

Owing to the fact that American popular muste is in such demand on this side, several thousands of pounds are sent to American com- posers and publishers every year: but by a reciprocal agreement British musle receives the bencht for being played in America. The
