CANBERRA, June 19.
The Japanese retaliatory plan against the Australian tariff will take the form of an ordinance which -will seriously prejudice exports of Australian wool, wheat, flour and tallow. Notice of the ordinance to-day reached the Minister in charge of Trade Treaties, Sir Henry Gullett, by telephone from the Japanese Consul-General who intimated that it was intended to impose restrictions and appreciably higher duties on Australian commodities.
The ordinance is expected to become operative in a few days, a,ltlirough it may not be applied while the negotiations are proceeding for a way out of tho impasse. If it is applied Cabinet will probably decide to abandon the conversations and take still further action under the licensing system against the importation of Japanese merchandise.
