§ Mr. L. SMITHasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the large importations into Tanganyika of Japanese porcelain ware, paint, glassware, boot polish, motor car tyres, shoes, soap, and cigarettes, he will take steps to introduce discriminatory duties against Japan, seeing that she has left the League of Nations?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERJapan is still a member of the League of Nations, and her notice of withdrawal does not take effect until 27th March, 1935. Apart from this, tariff discrimination in Tanganyika against Japan is precluded by the provisions of the Convention of St. Germain-en-Laye, as well as by those of the Anglo-Japanese Commercial Treaty.
