JAPAN OBJECTS TO QUOTAS
ALLEGED BREACH OF TREATY RIGHTS
SHARP TONE IN NOTE TO BRITAIN United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received May 16. 8.30 p.m.) , TOKIO. May 16. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Hirota instructed the Japanese Ambassador in London to deliver a Note, protesting against the imposition in the Crown ‘Colonies, of quotas against Japanese goods, which are considered an infringement of Japan’s treaty rights. The Note hopes that Britain will not aggravate the situation by extending quotas to goods other than cotton and rayon. Mr Hirota said “We have no objection to Britain protecting her own industries, but we regard the obvious discrimination against Japan as most unfair.” He added: “The Japanese Government is still willing to talk over any proposal the British Government may offer.”
