W. Samoa May Trade With Japan, Germany
From Our Own Correspondent
Apia, Nov. 4.
THE Collector of Customs has advised importers that Western Samoa has been included in the Sterling Area Trade Agreement with Japan. The Terri tory has. however, been requested to keep imports of essentials within a certain figure and, therefore, it has been neces sary to eliminate cotton goods from the list of permitted imports. Import licen ses will be allocated for silks and rayons, enamelware, hardware, iron, nails, etc., tinned fish and other lines up to the allocation granted individual importers.
As Western Germany has been declared a soft currency area under the new Trade Agreement with Great Britain, imports of German goods are also allowed.
