ON THE BLACK LIST
JAPANESE VESSELS
NO RETALIATORY ACTION
(Rec. 8 p.m.) NEW YORK, May 27. The Japanese Cabinet's Foreign Bureau spokesman, Viscount Ishii, told the Tokio correspondent of The Times that Japan does not intend either to answer or retaliate against the British action in placing on the black list Japanese ships. He expressed the view that blacklisting was intended to bring pressure on Japa"fr to submit to the navicert system, which Japan could not recognise. Viscount Ishii added that the practical effect of the black list was that some Japanese whalers would be denied privileges in Australian ports •where they usually called, but he indicated that other Japanese ships not on the black list would continue to call at British ports.
