JAPANESE PROTEST
BRITAIN'S ACTION RESENTED QUOTAS FOR GROWN COLONIES Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright TOKIO, May 16. ■ Mr Hirota (Foreign Minister) has instructed the Japanese Ambassador in London to deliver a Note protesting against the imposition by Crown colonies of quotas against Japanese goods, which is considered an infringement of Japan’s treaty rights. The Note hopes that Britain will not aggravate the situation by extending quotas to goods other than cotton and rayon. Mr Hirota said there was no objection to Britain protecting her own industries, but lie regarded tho obvious discrimination against Japan as most unfair. He added that tho Japanese Government was still willing to talk over any proposal that tho British Government may offer.
