JAPANESE REPRISALS
NEW AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
LATEST OFFER REJECTED
MUST PROTECT TRADE
(Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. June 18, 11 a.m.) TOKIO, June 17. Tho Domai News Agency learns that Australia's reply to the Japanese protests regarding the new tarilfs, received this afternoon, is unsatisfactory, upon which an official conference decided to submit the invocation of the Trade Protection Law to the Cabinet, which is expected to obtain Imperial sanction to enforce it on Friday. Mr. Amau stated: "Wo are in communication with Air. Murai, the Japanese Consul-General in Australia, in regard to Sir Henry Gullett's latest offer to apply intermediate tariifs to Japanese goods, which we regard as inadequate. "Our attitude is already clearly defined. Owing to Australia's drastic measures, we are obliged to protect our trade by invoking the law, but, if the Australians return to the status quo ante, and are ready to talk on the same footing, we are quite 'ready to talk to them."
