Dairen, Oct. 13.
The promulgation of a revised exchange control law in Manchoukuo, which appeared innocent enough on paper but which was later found to be ushering in an era of vast discomfort to foreigners in Manchuria or those who delight in foreign goods, took place on October 8. This law followed the one recently announced in Japan, and the Kwantung Leased Territory being Japanese territory Dairen is now feeling its effect.
This revised exchange control law will make a drastic difference to trade throughout Manchoukuo as it provides for a stringent tightening up on all export and import and remittances abroad. In the past exchange transactions for settling import accounts were unrestricted but the new measure stipulates that government permission is required for payment for goods imported—except from Japan—in excess of Y.l000 per month, The law goes further in that no import licences will be issued for luxuries such as high-priced motorcars; jewellery, cameras, perfumes, tobacco and liquor. In addition per-clocks, confectionery, textiles tinned provisions, which are p in Japan, will not be permitted un any circumstances, Government licences are also quired for persons wishing to to their families living abroad sum exceeding Y.1000 per annum for li expenses and for persons wishing take out letters of credit or simile documents for any amount exceeding Y.1000 as travelling expenses. Where remittances or sums for travel' are for Japan such stipulations do not come into force.
