(From Public Opinion in Magazine Digest)
The problem of Japan's trade com-
petition is likely to Ole a subject of
ibitter'controversy in the near future.
'1t is not so much a question of tariffs
or better work, but one of labor con-
•ditions and wages. No nation can
possibly conivpete when such low wag-
es are paid as those given to Jap-
anese workers, The employees of
Great Britain and Europe will natur-
ally not accept such remuneration,
and while the difference -in the atti-
tude of the East and the West will
ibe admitted and recognized, a eolu-
ition to what is undoubtedly a bitter
social and econorcrlip problem will have
to be found.
The following facts given in a re-
cent debate in the (-Louse of Commons
speak for themselves:
• "I have here a shirt which comes
from Ja an " said Mr. 'Hammersley,
p .., m Y,
MP., "in which the raw material has
Ito be spun • and woven, a color stripe
• ;put in it, and a lining, the material
:has to be cut and stitched and a neck
,!band and buttons put on; it has then
to pay a duty, 'and it can be sold in
this country at ls. including the duty.
"The weight of the cotton alone is
/3 '1b., and if you assume that all the
• -work people in. this country engaged
in this occupation are working with-
out wages, that no money is provid-
ed for capital and that the only ov-
erhead costs are the, payment of
gates, it would then cost something
like ls. 6d, to make in this country.
"We have them dumped in this mar-
ket • at the price of ls. What are we
going to do?"
'"I have an under -garment here,"
said Major Proctor, .M.P. "It can be
•delivered into the shops in my con-
stituency of Accrington, duty paid,
freight from Japan to London paid,
• and the rail freight to Accrington
paid, and sold at a profit of 7d. per
- pair, I have a pair of socks here
that can be sold retail for 2d': We
cannot preserve the standard of life
.of the Lancashire working man if
the Government of this country per -
=tits the entrance of these goods."
:Major Proctor went on to suggest
that it is necessary "to put 'a ring
fence clean round the Empire so that
until Japan pays its operatives more
than 2d. an hour and works them, for
less than 10 hours a day and seven
•lays a week, and until Japan gives
lrer people a standard of life compar-
able to our own, Japanese . goods
should not be allowed to enter the
territories of the British Empire at
all."
'Mr. Levy, MP., •gave the Commons
the following figures in the• course
of his speech. He said:
"In 1930, Great Britain exported
to all parts 'of the ;world, including
Empire markets, 59,760,000 square
yards of rayon' pieces. Rayon is a
commodity which is taking the place
o•'f our cotton goods (because of its
cheapness. In 1932, we only export-
ed 46,250,000: square yards.
"Compare that falling off of 20
per cent. with the alarming Japanese
increase. In 1930 Japan exported to
countries in the Enr'pire market a-
lone 45,250,000 square yards, and in
1932, 76,21510,000 square yards, an in-
crease of nearly 70 per cent., while
to the whole world in 1932 she ex-
horted 152,638,000 square yards. She
• is relentlessly crushing us out of
markets which used to be especialI•y
your own customers, and, what is
more significant, ,the markets of our
own kith and kin.
"The rapidity of this onslaught
can ibe gauged by these few figures.
Japan exported to India in 1930, 24,-
750,00fy square yards, in 1931,
42,500,000 square yards, and in 1932
50,750,000 square yards; to East Afri-
ca 716,000 square yards in 1930,
1,942,000 in 1931 and in 1932 over
2,000,000 square yards; and to South
America 973,000 in 1930, 6,133,000 in
1931 and a similar quantity in 1982."
Mr. G. Ward IP,rice th:e Daily' `Mail
Special Correspondent, tells the fol -
]awing .remarkaible story of his visit
to one o the 'Toyako 'Mills where 700
girls and 300 men ,are employed. Mr.
Price says:
"The girls ,are paid from 6d. a day
as apprentices, who have just left
the primary schoolsat the age of 13,
up to 1s. 101,d. a day for a highly
skilled; weaver of 17 or 18. Besides,
they get practically free board, lodg-
ing, and spare -time schooling; (being
charged less than 2d. a day for all
these benefits combined. The men
are paid from 1s. to .3s. 6d. a day.
There are. also yearly bonuses and
gratuities on retirement,
"With such labor •costs, is it sur-
prising that Lancashire cannot conzi=
pete?
"Ili one of the two weaving sheds
there were 520 automatic looms. It
was a huge wooden building, well -
lighted, scrupulously- clean, filled with.
the roar of clacking machinery—and
22 girls ran
the whole s
hed? There
were:
"Two smart girls who tend 40
looms each; they 'get ls, 10t/zd. a day;
"Twelve 'girls who look after 30
looms each at is. 41/ d. a day;
"Four girls who run 20 looms each
(`beginners,' I was told) at 9d. a day;
and
"Four overseers at ls. 101d. a day.
"'Shockingly underpaid,' Lanca-
shire would say. But by then Japan-
ese standard of living, these wages'
are quite good. In fact, the girls
come to the mill to save money for.
their dowry.
"They live in `dormitories' belong-
ing to the company, just' as comfort-
ably as in any Japanese middle-class
home., I went over these dormitories
in two large mills.
"The rooms open off 'long wooden
corridors of which one side looks out
on to a garden. Eight girls sleep in
a room about 1l feet square, with a
floor ' of straw matting, and sliding -
door cupboard's to hold the quilts
that cover them at nigiht—•.the same
as in any Japanese hotel.
"There were flowers in these rooms
—sometimes a gramophone, and books
on little dwarf tables. Then there
are rest rooms, a hospital and class-
rooms where lessons in dressmaking,
cooking, ordinary school subjects—
even in English—are given daily. At
some mills school attendance is vol-
untary. In one of those I (visited the•
girls, have, to devote three"hours of
their spare time to sdhool each day.
"Both mills have a fine big tiled
Japanese 'bath which all the girls use
daily, and there are dressing rooms
with dozens of large mirrors before
which these pretty little, plump, pink -
faced flappers array themselves in
the dainty kimonos they wear off
duty. They looked as happy as the
ordinary English schoolgirl, singing
as they tripped arm -in -arm along the
corridors in their white Japanese
socks.
"I went to the big dining room to
see them at dinner. It was the ord-
inary kind of Japanese meal — rice,
vegetables, soya -bean curd, with tea
to drink. They help themselves, and
may eat as much as' they like.
"The cost to the company of thus
boarding and lodging their staff
works out at just over three shillings
per head per week, which must be
added to the average wage :bill of
seven or eight shillings per head per
week.
"The secret of their advantage lies
in the combination of low labor costs
with high technical efficiency.
"Instead of cherishing false hopes
that this Japanese competition will
soon pass away like a summer storm
we should realize that it is not yet
at its maximum, for the Japanese
Cottone Spinners' Association is at
present limiting the output of its
memlbers by about 30 per cent.
"Our only., hope is to come to an
agreement with Japan about market-
ing zones or export quotas."
With contented wortkere—and Jap-
anese standard of content are differ-
ent to ours—it will be seen that the
problem is not an easy one, especial-
ly as Japan at the Economic Con-
ference" is expected to suggest the
'albolition of all (trade barriers.

Not Smart
A pretty young lady' took a taxi-
cab the other day and said, in clear
and lovely tones, that she wished to
go to the corner of 51st Street and
Park Alve.iiiie. When next she looked
up. she beheld herself being driven
well on toward 52nd • Street. ''She
spoke to the driver sharply: "I safe''

Locks
Charles Courtney, New York's lock-
smith extraordinary, who recently re.
turned with whitened hair and one
wrist 'in a plaster cast after his sec-
ond experience at undersea treasure-
hunting, 'attributes the great success
he has had in his profession to a
sensitive touch.` He can touch the
baele of your hand and feel your heart
beat.
He started when' he was ten, work-
ing for a locksmith and reading about
locks. Now, at 43, he has a staff of
six outside leen, four inside men, and
two _ girls--aali'. ibusy. The Outside
men go around lock -opening here and
there at three to five dollars a call,
Jf Mr. 'Courntye himself goes' out on
a call, 'he usually charges from $15
to $25, although for difficult jobs he
has put in ibills for as 'much as $250.
Courtney considers the •most diffi-
cult 3o1 he ever had was the open-
ing of a warehouse (vault in which an
employee was imprisoned. He worked
almost four hours to get the door
open, ` The man inside was unconsc-
ious, but was revived. He has saved
other lives in fres. He was watch-
ing a fire in a shipyard in Brooklyn
when word went out that the flames
were roaring toward a shed filled with
dynamite. No keys could be found.
Courtney volunteered to opens• the!
shed and did with a piece of wire and
the explosive was moved away safe•
ly. Another 'time a family was im-
prisoned in a burning house in Brook-
lyn. He picked the lock with a bent
fork.•
:About two years ago, 'Courtney was
called to a business house where
burglars the night before had at-
tein,pted to blow open- the safe. They
had drilled several holes in the steel
before giving up. They were thought-
ful burglars, for they left a note
sticking. on the door: "Beware`nitro-
glycerene!"
