Through the new trade agreement, Japan, it is reported, will be able to ensure an adequate supply of necessary materials and increase her export business, which has been none too favourable recently. At the same time, Germany will be enabled to recover what she has lost in her trade with the Far East.
The principal exports from Japan to Germany include agar-agar, canned and bottled food-stuffs, vegetable oils, buttons, porcelain and earthenware, hat-braids, toys and rayon yarn. The principal imports from Germany are leather, crude nitrate of ammonium, synthetic dyes, woollen goods, paper-pulp, iron and steel, aluminium, motor-cars and parts, electric motors and transformers, machinery and parts, mineral oils, hops, crude sulphate of potassium, photographic prints papers, books and magazines.—Reuter.
