“VERY DISAGREEABLE ACTION"
JAPANESE SPOKESMAN'S COMMENT -,■ * , TOKIO, January 22. (Received January 23, at 8 a.m.) The Foreign Office spokesman said: “The incident occurred very near our shores, and we consider it a very disagreeable action. Whether or not a protest will be lodged will be decided when more information is received.’’ The spokesman added that Britain notified Japan three weeks ago of her intention to seize German seamen on Japanese liners. The San Francisco representative of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha Line said it was improbable that the company would carry more Germans across the Pacific. “ "Wh don’t like shots across the hows, having the ships searched and passengers removed,” he said.
