Japanese exporters estimate that the protective measures planned by London will result in a decrease of in Japanese about Y.30,000,000 shipments, or a loss of only about uipe per cent. of the total annual exports.
This loss. It was claimed here, can be more than compensated by intensification of competition with Lancashire products in non-British' markets.
A formal statement regarding Mr. Runciman's plans to limit Japanese competition will be made. shortly by the Foreign Office after a further study of the situation:
spokesman, A Foreign Office during an informal interview with the
press this afternoon stated that the Japanese Government re- gretted that Mr. Runciman had taken such a definite stand with- out awaiting the Japanese reply to the recent British trade memor andum. He said that the action of Mr. Runciman may be regarded as a betrayal of the friendship that has existed between the two coun- tries for many years..
The spokesman then went on to say that in some circles the Bri- tish action was considered almost tantamount to a declaration of war, but that the general public, however, was not unduly excited because it realized the soundness of Japan's industry and commerce. With regard to action that may be taken by the Government, the spokesman stated that Japan will request London to reconsider its policy as enunciated by Mr. Run- ciman in an effort to bring about
an amicable settlement of the dis- pute.
Experts at the Foreign Office have already started a careful study of Mr. Runciman's state- ment, the "text of which was re- ceived here last night from Mr. T. Matsudaira, Ambassador to the Court of St. James..
