ECONOMIC BLOCKADE
DISCUSSED IN JAPAN
CALL TO THE NAVY
KOBE, February 24. The.Press discusses the possibilities of an economic blockade, though denying apprehensions. Mr. Washio, a wellknown publicist, follows Mr. Hanzawa, editor of the "Diplomatic Review," in proclaiming that in the event of an economic boycott Japan will blockade all China's ports, monopolising the trade. There is a demand for the early formation of an economic bloc with Manchukuo for a safeguard. The "Chugai Shogyo," a commercial newspaper, declares that Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations does not mean hostility to the League but "a return to Asia instead of subsorvience to Anglo-Saxonism." Tho paper "Hochi," quoting Admiral Osumi's call to the navy to be ready, declares that all Japan must answer the same call and be prepared to jUace
hardships as a result of an economic blockade. The paper denounces sugary optimisini and luxurious indulgence. The "Nichi Nichi" denounces foreign attempts to discriminate between military and public opinion, and says the nation is unanimous.
