BUSINESS METHODS IN JAPAN.
A Consular report from Tokio contains a circular addressed by the Japanese Vice-Minister for x\griculture and Commerce to the various Chambens of Commerce in the country. The circular states:—"Merchants and manufacturers are liable to sacrifice the intersect of others for
the sake of their own temporary gain —the former merely excluding one another, the latter indulging in the proportion of imitations and inferior articles. It is to be profoundly regretted for the future of our industries that not a few have imitated or stolen inventions, trade marks, and other industrial rights. Foreign trade marks and trade names have also been abused, and the victims have from time to time applied to the authorities for redress. Any act resembling dishonesty or fraud is highly detrimental to our commercial credit. It is to be hoped that merchants and manufacturers will endeavour so to engage in their business as to win confidence, which is the fundamental principle of trade, and will try to bring about prosperity by honourable means."
