The reason for the sharp adj

WILL STRONGLY PROTEST
ANT|-JAPANESE ACTIVITY

TOXIC, Dec. Is. - Following a
meeting of the cabinet council Tues
day, Minister Obata. plenipotenttarv
to China, was directed to make a
strong protest to the Picking govern
ment regarding anti-Jap panese activi-
ties of the Chinese, notably Chinese
students, which endanger friendly re
lations between China and Japan. The
protest it is understood has to do mar
ticularly with the difficulties at Foo
Chow and boycotts against Japanese
merchandise.
Gables recently received from Toxic
told OF two vigorous protests forward
ed to the Toxic government from Pek-
ing regarding the Foo Chow trouble.
Japanese newspapers declare China IL
to blame, whereas Peking dispatches
place all the blame for the Foo Chow
riots on the Japanese. Japanese war
vessels have been at Foo Chow since
the riot in which several japanese
were killed and one American was
wounded. The riot resulted when
chinese student boycotted Japanese
Goods. 1t is traceable to the shan
tung award.
