§ 61. Mr. JOHNSTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he is aware of the difficulties that are experienced by the cotton mills in India owing to Japanese competition; and whether, in view of the proposal to erect Japanese mills in India, any action has been taken, or is proposed to be taken, 1179 on the Report of the External Capital Committee?
§ Earl WINTERTONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative.
