Trade Treaty High Lights
Bon on Unequal Export Restrictions
Bors Application of Embargo

Here are the high lights of the
1911 treaty of commerce and navi-
cation with Japan which the United
States is terminating:
One of the chief reasons given
for abrogation of the commercial
treaty was that it would pave the
way for application of an embargo
against Japan. In Article v of the
treaty it is stated that neither con-
tracing party shall impose any
other or higher duties or charges
on the expectation of any article
to the territories of the other than
are or may be payable on the ex-
portation of the like article to any
other foreign country"
Article V also states: Nor shall
any prohibition be imposed by either
country on the importation or ex-
portation of any article from or to
the territories of the other which
shall not equally extend to the like
article imported from or exported
to any other country"
Other high lights of the treaty:
l. Citizens of each nation shall
have liberty to travel, reside and
conduct business in the other, with
out paying higher taxes than dc
natives. They shall be exempt from
compulsory military service and
shall receive 'the most constant
protection and security
2. Dwellings, warehouses and shops
of citizens of each nation shall be
respected in the others territory
and shall be searched only under
lawful conditions.
3. Each nation may appoint con-
suls and deputies in all cities of the
other.
4. Reciprocal freedom of conf
merce and navigation shall exist
with access ito all places, ports and
rivers which are or may be opened
