It is, however, regrettable that an unexpected prelimin~ ary agreement has recently been concluded between the British Ambassador to Japan. and the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Tokyo parler and the formal nego- tiations have already been opened. Such steps seem to be not only contrary to justice ..but also prejudicial to the cause of permanent peace of the Far East and even the interests of the British Empire herself.

.

"We, therefore, earnestly request Your Excellency to convey to His Majesty's Government 'our anxious hope that Great Britain will never Field to the Japanese demands, but, on the contrary, will, for the sake of Justice and peace of the Far East, take further steps to carry out the resolutions of the League of Nations by helping China and

FALL IN IMPORT

OF GOODS LONDON, July 31 (By Air Mall) The large Chinese population in Malaya has imposed a succesful boycott upon "Japanese goods. The total imports into Malaya of mer- chandise from Japan fell from 40,482,000 dollars in 1937 to 12,420,- 600 dollars last year, according to | s'report by the British Trade Com- missioner at Singapore issued yes- terday.

In practically every item of goods there has been a heavy re- duction. For instance, In 1937 Japan came next to the United Kingdom and Belgtum as the largest supplier of chocolate, bat last year only 8182b, came from Japan, compared with. 117,1377b: in 1937.
