TARIFE 1S | SAR TO TRADE AND FRIENDSHIP Statement Issued by Jap- anese Chamber Claims Friction Is Certain with ‘ Heavy Duties TOKIO, June 20.—(Corre- rspondence of The Associated Press.) —The Yokohama and 'Tokio chambers of commerce have decided to take action in opposition to the Fordney tariff bil now before congress by me- morializing the American chamber of commerce and the Japanese govern: ment. A statement issued by the Tokio chamber of commerce says: “The Fordney tariff bill provides for a mudden increase of the present cus- tom tariff to an extremely high, al- most prohibitory rate, which if put into force will no doubt do an im- mense harm to Japanese-American trade. No i. few countries suffering from the wounds inflicted by the great war are planning an increase of the customs tariff as a means to recover their weakened economic and finan: cial status and accelerate the restora- tion, of thelr commercial and industrial relations and friendship to attempt to build a barrier against the importation of the merchandist of other. countries by raising the customs tariff to the extreme and thereby check smooth commercial relations between two na- tions. such measures was adopted at the re- cent interhational economic conference at Gened, principally with the motive of promoting closer commercial rela- tions between nations and thereby to enhance al friendship. “An especially close relation binds Japan and America and it is the sin- cere wish of both Japanese and Amer- icans to maintain and further increase that close commercial relationship binding the two nations in future, so that the. introduction of the ¥orfney tariff bill proposing such an extreme increase in the rate of American cus- tom tariff seriously affecting the trade relations between this country and America is a matter for great regret ! to the Japanese business community. “She enforcement of the Fordney tariff will directly or indirectly me- . nace the trade relations between Ja- pan and America and deal a severe blow to Japanese manufacturers and traders. Not only that, but it will in no small measure prejudice the inter- ests of American traders and consum- ers in general so that the adoption of the Fordney tariff will, after all bring no practical good to America, but on the contrary it is sure to prove disadvantageous to her economic inter eats.

The strikers insist that their ‘“24- hour day” and the unceasing vigil they are required to keep onthe women of the harems justify better remuneration, especially during the present hard times. Many of them protest that their wages have not been paid-for more than a year and in several instances they have ap pealed to the American committee on relief in the Near East for aid. ‘The fact is that their masters, who in most cases are officials or em- Ployes of the government, have not drawn any salaries for months.
