JAPANESE EDGING IN
TRADE WITH MALAYA FIRMS SEEK CONTACTS (Noon.) SINGAPORE, May 26. Japanese business interests are quietly striving to re-establish contacts in Malaya, says the A.A.P.-Reuter correspondent. Several Singapore firms last week received letters from Japanese companies seeking orders. The Mistui Bussan Kaisha, after pointing out that “more than a year has elapsed since the doves of peace came back with eternal spring” says, in a letter from Tokyo: “Business circles here are hoping for the earliest possible revival of international trade.” Kanematsu and Company, Limited, in another letter, says: “We fortunately have emerged from war almost intact materially, with little loss of personnel and are carrying on business as actively as before without being handicapped by post-war restrictions.” The correspondent says that the British-run Singapore Chamber of Commerce has declared emphatically that it would not trade with the Japanese. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, said it could see no reason why it should not.
