In consequenes of the recent decision in the British Court at Shanghai, that the Inland Sea of Japan is a national bighway, and not territorial water, some of the leading journals, including the Rokkaf, strongly urge the Japanese Govern ment to at ones prevent foreign men-of-war from passing through the Ses without special permission, and thus enforce their right to claim it as territorial water. They also severely criticise the Government for allowing the Cashimo Ravenna case to be tried in a foreign Court, argaing that the question ought to be decided entirely in the Japanese courts.
