Organization Urged

China Affairs Bureau — Chamber of Commerce Makes Suggestions

Tokyo, Sept, 8.

Immediate action by the government to set up the projected China Affairs Bureau was urged by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Indstry today in resolutions adopted by its standing committee.

Organization of the bureau was favoured in order to unify administrative machinery pertaining to China affairs. The chamber recommended also that restrictions on exports of miscellaneous goods to the yen bloc countries, Manchoukuo and China, be relaxed with a view to encouraging exports to Manchoukuo and China and aiding imports of raw materials from China.

The recommendations pointed out that restrictions on exports of miscellaneous goods to China and Manchoukuo, unless modified, will result in the loss of a big market where Japanese goods will be supplanted by those of European and American manufacture-—Domei.
