...quiet, deadly cloth war with Britain, waged with the sharp price-cutting weapon of her depreciated yen. Japan took the yen off gold two years ago (TIME, Dec. 21, 1931), has thus been able to cut her cotton textile prices unbelievably low and to steal British markets throughout the East. Last week the yen was down to 36.7% of its par gold value, while Britain's pound, though also depreciated, stood at 65% of its gold parity...

Egypt, whose fat King Fuad is a British puppet, promptly swung into line with higher tariffs.
