TOKYO, Dec. 2—(C.P.)-'I‘he Japanese Government is favorab- ly considering Canadian proposals to end trade differences between the two countries and an agree- ment has‘ been reached in prin- ciple according to authoritative sources at the foreign office here.

Prime Minister Mackenzie King. it was learned, has proposed to the Japanese Minister in Ottawa that if Japan would cancel her imposition of the prohibitory sur- tax of 50 per cent on Canadian goods, Canada would also cancel the similar surtax of 85 1-3 per cent and at the same time meet to a large extent the Japanese re- quests for more favorable treat- ment of Japanese goods entering the Dominion.

The latter concessions, learned; would be:

1. Applying the Canadian dump- ing duty against Japanese goods only when similar goods are made in Canada in commercial quanti- ties instead of as at present when it is imposed if any quantity, no

it was

matter how small, is made in Canada. 2. Fixed or arbitrary valuation

on Japanese goods for duty-as- semment purposes would be con- fined to natural products only in- stead of applying to all as now. 8.
