Although no mention of trade is made in the order of either govern-` ment, It is probable that the freez- ing orders will not affect the goods which are ready for shipment or which have already been paid for by either country.

Present Convention

The order of the Government of India does not affect Japanese goods for which payment is already made, No trade agreement exisis at present between India and Japan but a com- mercial convention requires that Japan take from India cotton to the value of India's import of Japanese textiles.

The convention is now under six months' notice of term aation.
