The Japanese Government has already taken action by

requiring that a cash deposit shall be made for double the value

of the coal. 1.8. over and above the price paid to the seller,

before shirment will be permitted, and this cash deposit will

only be released on the production of certificates from the

Japanese Consul in Manila that the coal has been delivered to

bona-fide consumers here. This is all right as far as it goes,

but it is something like closing the door after the horse has

been stolen, for the coal which has been already shipped out of

the port for use of the German cruisers in oriental waters was

diverted from contracts made with bona-fide consumers, and these

will now have to certify that the coal coming in to replace it

is for their consumption, thus unwittingly making themselves

accomplices after the fact.

The precautions taken by the Japanese government are

defective for the reason that the cash deposit imposes an unjust

burden upon the bona fide consumer, while if the enemy really

wants coal, it will matter little to them whether they pay a trip

The only practical measure of protection triple price or not, is to constitute an absolute boycott against the individuals who have been supplying or may be suspected of intending to supply coal to the enemy. It is impossible that a Consul with his limited staff should be able to attend to this special matter but it could be easily controlled by the government sending a special representative here until such time as the enemy's cruisers have been rounded up. The matter of expense should not count, as it is of the greatest importance that Australia

should not lose its good market here while loyally preventing
