Japan Will Retaliate Against

The Allies Embargo

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" TOKYO, Nov. 29, (UP).- Japanese Foreign Office chiefs decided at a meeting to-day that Japan will take necessary re- taliatory action to cope with the situation in the event of Britain carrying out the plan to seize German exports.

Observers regard the situation as grave, pointing out, that firm measures must be taken by Japan to deal with the situation.

Executives of the Foreign Office have decided to wait for the British and French replies to their protests. However, if the replies are not satisfactory further represen- tatlons will be filed stressing the fact that Japan will take sultable action by reserving the right to enforce counter measures on the grounds that the British and French seizure of German exports in neutral waters would prove detrimental to Japan's trade and rights

Will Renow Protests TOKYO, Nov. 30, (Domel)--Informed quarters pointed out that the Japanese Government will probably renew theft pro- tests to the British and French Governments with regard to the formal decisions of the Allies to seize German goods on the high

seas.

The Japanese Government will persist that the Allied decisions which have simul- taneously heen promulgated by the Allied Governments under date of November 28, tend to infringe the commerce of neutral countries,

As they have already made representa-: tlons to the British and French Governments, the Japanese Government will not be able to recognise Allied interference with Japan's legitimate commerce.

STALIN TAKES UP THE HITLER CRY

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"

MOSCOW, Nov. 29, (UP). In one of his rare public statements, M. Stalin, through the official Tass news agency, to-day charged the Allies with starting the European war which will "fundamentally alleviate the position of all nations.”

M. Stalin denied the Havus Agency's report that he "ex- pounded the idea that the war should last as long as possible so the belligerents will become exhausted."

He described the report as a "fabricated lle" nud added: "he ruling circles of England and France rudely declined both of Germany's peace proposals and the attempts of the Soviet Union to attain the earliest possible termination of the war."
