Retaliation Against Australia
JAPS TAKE FURTHER ACTION. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Thursday, 10.20 p.m. TOKIO, June 17. The Japanese Foreign Office spokesman, Mr Amau, doubted whether retaliation against Australia eould be enforced as soon as to-morrow, but it will undoubtedly be within a few days. According to a report from the Australian Consul, Mr Murai, Japan is willing to continue negotiations for a treaty with Australia after the retaliatory measures have become effective. Mr Amau added that retaliation would be supported by all circles, even manufacturers, who consider it a good opportunity to establish the independence of the clothing industry, including the development of a suitable substitute for wool.
The Dornei Press Agency learns that Australia’s reply received this afternoon was unsatisfactory, upon which an official conference decided to submit invocation of the trade protection law' to Cabinet which was expected to obtain Imperial sanction to enforce it on Friday.
