on taking these low prices that the regulation scheme v.as
established.
Although we have obtained a certain amount of
co-operation from the Chinese we have so far failed to secure
any support from the Japanese in connection with the
regulation scheme, and I am afraid the present political
atmosphere which surrounds Japan does not encourage any
hope that support may ultimately be forthcoming.
There is one aspect ox this matter which has to be
borne in mind and that is that India ana Ceylon tea has
been pushing China ana Japan tea out of other markets which
are remunerative from our point of view, and if we can
retain these and, as we hope, add to them v;e can well
afford to let China and Japan have some of the crumbs.
I imagine that the consignment of tea the subject of your
letter is the produce of Japan, or it may be Formosa.
I don't think it comes from Manchuria as there is no record
that tea is grown there. It might be China tea imported
into Manchuria and exported from there, but this is hardly
likely.
The India Trade Commissioner has, I see, addressed
the International Tea Market Sxpansion Board on this
subject and they in their turn have reierred the matter
to the International Tea Committee who will, I expect,
reply much on the lines of this letter.
I am afraid you may not regard this as a very
satisfactory reply to your advices but I know you v<ill
appreciate the position, and I can assure you that we are
very grateful for your continued interest and your present
advices on this subject.
Yours sincerely,
(Sd) R. G-raham.
