Reports from Tokyo indicate that the
movement for a 3Tade boycott of France as
a n essure of rebuke for that governments
conduct toward the Russian fleet continues
to grow in strength, and it is expected that
a vote to that effect will be carried in the
chamber of commerce. AS The Star pointed
out the other day, such an act of retala-
ton would chiefly injure Japanese trade,
and probably the commercial leaders OF
Japan fully appreciate that fact and are in
tent solely upon patriotic demonstration
of the resentment against the enemies of
the empire.
AT the same time it is reported that the
Japanese goVernmant is being urged, by
what power or int res is not stated, TO ac-
cept the French avowals of neutrality and
the helated activity of the French admiral
in clearing the Russian warShipS out of the
waters of Cochin China. 1t is well known
that at least one European power is con-
cerned in the maintenance of the status
quo by confning the hostlities to Russia
and Japan. The newly formed Anglo-French
entente suggests that Japan's potential ally
is by no means desirous to have her press
the case against France, and there dis
tinct intimations in the dispatches that the
British government has made strong repre-
tor in the clearing out of the Russians.
There seems to be little likelihood that
Japan will adopt more active measures
than the formal filing of a protest against
what has already been done at and near
Saigon and at Kamranh bay. The Rus
slams under Rojestvensky. it is now under
stood, have definitely left the French wa
ters, and Nebogatoff. according TO today's
dispatches. refraned from putting in at
Saigon when he was informed by Rojest-
venskys scout ships that the French gov
ernment did not care to entertain Russian
guests. So there is no present prospect of
a further breach of neutrality by France.
This does not, of course end the case.
Japan has reason to regard herself as in
jured in prospect by the French action,
and if she suffers defeat in the naval bat
tie, or by reason of the escape of the Rus-
siaE ships her coast cities are damaged or
her shipping destroyed, she may have
ground for a claim OF indemnity against
France on basis similar TO that on which
the Alabama claims were granted in favor
of the United States against England. So,
while as a factor in the war it Is appar-
entity likely that the Kamranh bay epi-
sode will no longer cut an important figure,
1t IS by no means necessarily a closed in
cident in the relations of Japan and
France.
With Rojestvensky joined by Nebogatoff
and presumably sailing northward toward
Formosa, there may be an encounter in a
few days. TOgos whereabout are unknown.
That he is carefully planning his conduct,
disposng of his forces to the best advan-
tage and making the most of his own time
may be accepted as certain.
