Attitude Of Japanese Towards Foreigners:

Reaction

Sets In

Tokyo, July 23.

The reaction against "foreigners" has set in, just as most Japanese and "foreigners" predicted it would once the Allied Occupation was over. It did not come too quickly and thus far-it has not been too violent.

It is just about what many persons expected. Some say it is nothing more than a "natural reaction" that was certain to take place.

Many foreigners have said that the reaction has not been nearly as great as they had expected. They noted that foreigners can go anywhere in Japan and do anything a Japanese can do without being bothered or troubled.

Many foreigners feel fer in that the Japanese are not awed Japan bolli day and night by foreigners, Some the

To Press Case

The Hague, July 22.

The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's claim to ownership of Persian oil will probably be advanced. by the Company in other courts in spite of the International Court's decision today that it is not competent in the case.

But a British Foreign Office spokesman, in- dicating this today, said that in the British view "an international wrong still exists" by reason of the Persian nationalisation of the country's oil resources.
