TOKYO, July 20.
MEASURES for the boycott of British goods were formulated to-day by the anti-British boycott campaign committee in Tientsin, according to a Japanese despatch.

The pickets would urge firms and warehouses to suspend sales of British articles, but compensation would be paid for loss of trade.
The committee recommends organisation of special control over sales and purchases of British goods.-- Reuter.
