EXCLUSION RESENTED. FEELING IN JAPAN. B? CABLE PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received June 16, 8.5 a.m. . TOKfO, June 14. The American Embassy formally protested against the boycott of American films, informing the Japanese Government concerning other discriminations that the embassy’s action followed a complaint by representatives of American film companies at Kobe, who reported that t-iie boycott movement was spreading in Western Japan, and asked icr assistance in combating it. The local boycott, however, appears to be breaking down. The police announced that- fill t protection would be given theatres showing American films, and warned so-called patriotic boycotters not to use intimidation as a weapon. Tokio’s leading theatres intend to continue to Exhibit American films. Popular resentment against exclusion persists, and public meetings continue to adopt antfcexclusion resolutions. Student organisations continue to be active,, but dignity and restraint have supplanted their earlier passion.—Aus.X.Z. Cable Assn.
