In connection with this, the Japaness Consul at Bombay has entered a protest with the British authorities in India but, so far, nothing has been accomplished. The Bombay branch of the Spinning Guild sent a mes age to its Head Office in Onks to the effect that in forder to suppost the protest, the Japanese Government had better open direct negotiations with the Secretary of State for India in London. If an export duty is imposed on all commodities, the ffect upon Japan will be serious. The question is of vital interest to is country-just as the notion Japanese Government a
w years ago in adopting a pro- deótivo tariff was of vital concern to hundreds of important indus `ries abroad,"
