BOYCOTT SEEMS PROBABLE
Denial of the japanese Chambers of
Commerce Provokes
Smile in Toxic.

Toxic. July An well-informed quar-

Commerce of an intention to inaugurate a
boycott against American goods While
there is no doubt that the chambers of
commerce would not. as such take any
action of that nature, vet in this con-
nectiOn, however it is necessary to re-
member that public bodies like chambers
of commerce do not give out positive in
formation in a matter the contamination
of which requires great secrecy, also the
Japanese capacity to keep secrets. A fact
which was remarkably proven in the late
Russian war. 1t is possible that the pub
lie may be surprised at any time at the
sudden appearance of strong cOmbina-
ton, committed to a policy to buy no
American goods.
The report that the United States would
augment its naval force in the Pacific
has not attracted much attention here.
