BRITAIN MAPS FIGHT.
Will Use Import Quotas Against
japanese Goods.

LONDON. May 7 (P-Walter Run
ciman. president of the British Board
of Trade. told the House of Commons
today the British government is pre-
pairing to utilize import quotas as a
weapon in the battle against increas-
ing Japanese trade competition.
His statement came in a review of
the British trade negotiations with
the japanese
In the face OF JapanS apparent un-
readiness to reach basis of under
standing. RunClman said
The British government has come
to the conclusion it would no longer
be justified in postponing such action
as is open with view to safeguarding
the trade of this country"
AS a result he said he told the
Japanese Ambassador Nav that in
the circumstances the British gov
eminent is obliged TO resume the lib
erty to take such action as is deemed
necessary to safeguard our commercial
interests" with the assurance that 1t
would be taken in no unfriendly
spirit
Runciman said colonies and pro-
teCtOrateS, in which such action would
be appropriate. will be asked to in
troduce import quotas which. except
in the case of West Africa. will apply
to foreign imports of cotton and rayon
goods. with view to reinstating that
country in the position in those mar
kets which it held before the present
abnormal period
The basis of these quotas. he said.
will be the approximate averages OF
the imports for l927l93l.
The proposed legislation will be
enacted with the least possible delay,
he added. and will be so framed that
the actual quota regulations will be
retroactive as from today 80 that
no attempts at forestalling it will be
allowed"
A denunciation of the Anelo-Jap-
anese trade treaty. said Runciman
was not envisaged since the British
government is ready to give most
careful consideration TO anv proposal
the japanese government may desire
to make.
He said the government is conSid-
ering other commodities beside cotton
and rayon and is also mindful of the
situation in home markets.
It was revealed that Neville Cham
berlain chancellor of the exChequer.
has asked the Imports Advisory Com
mittee for complete report on silk
duties as soon as possible.

ciaticn said that while the bill ap-
parently did not raise the price of
the farmers product that went into
cheese and butter it would help the

Hull contended the 5-cents-a pound
processing tax on butter was too
high. He also asserted farmers had
been "bribed" in effect to keep their
butterfat off The market by being
paid eventually twice its market
worth.
Procedure Explained.
Thus. he explained. with butterfat
selling at IS cents a pound, the
farmer who cut his sales was given
40 cents premium and allowed to keep
his butterfat for feeding vealerS and
for home use.
The dairy industry claimed for the
legislative plan for rehabilitation the
support of organizations said to rep
resent millions of producers and wage
earners

lined in statement by Roy M. Pike.

pear today before the House Agri-
