AUSTRALIAN TARIFF.
JAPAN DETERMINED ON RETALIATION. ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN. TALK OF FINDING SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOL. (Received Thursday, 8.25 p.m.) TOKIO, June 17. • The Foreign Office spokesman, Mr. Arnau, said he doubted whether retaliation against Australia could be enforced as soon as to-morrow, but it undoubtedly would be within a few days. According to a report-from the Australian Consul, Mr. Murai, Japan is willing co continue negotiations for a treaty with Australia after retaliattJry measures have been made effective. Mr. Arnau added that retaliation wss supported by all circles, even the manufacturers, who consider it a good opportunity to establish the independence of the clothing industry, including the development of a suitable substitute for wool.
(An earlier message from Tokio read: “The Domei Press Agency learns that Australia’s reply, received this afternoon, regarding trade negotiations, is unsatisfactory, and that at an official conference it was decided to submit invocation of the trade protection law to Cabinet, which is expected to obtain Imperial sanction for enforcement on Friday.”)
