Recently a member of the secret society which is believed to have organised the boycott was prosecuted, but discharged by Judge HUED, who held that he could not be punished for distributing boycost circulars, the nature of which he did not know. In a remarkable address from the bench to a courtroom filled with Chinese, and an overflow in the courtyard, Judge Hosp stated that he did not consider illegal a boycott declared for purely patriotic reasons, which is the motive ascribed by the Chinese to the embargo on Japanese goods. Accepting that doctrine, what would be the likely consequence, say, if the people of the United States "for

Or, purely patriotic reasons boycott of Japanese merchandise ? again, if the native population of the Philip pine Islands "for purely patriotic reasons" were to boycott American importa? It seems an inconvenient and a dangerous doctrine. Surely the United States Government in view of her Treaty obligations cannot allow this boycott uf Japanese goods by an alien unity subject to her jurisdiction to continue indefinitely, and Japan, it seeina to us, would have a perfect right to protest strongly against auy half-hearted masures to ensure its suppression.

PUBLIC interest in the boycott of Japanese merchandise by Chinese merchants in Manila, which has now been in progress for a period extending to several months, has been quickened by a rumour that the Governor-General of the Islands ie contam plating the deportation of six men who are believed to be the leading spirits of the movement. Legal experts in Manila are by no means agreed that the Governor-General is invested with plenary powers to deport these men. Many of our readers wil doubtless recall the deportation of a dozen Chinese from Manila about three years ago. Several of these men had lived in the Islands for upwards of thirty years. They were arrested and shipped out of Manila at night. It was asserted by the attorney who was engaged on their behalf that the men were never notified that such drastic action was being contemplated; they were not notified as to the motive or purposes of the arrest, and they were given no opportunity of arranging their business affairs before their departure.
