12 SHP RATE PROTEST RENENEDBYTOKID Ambassador Instructed to Make Representations on U. S. Action. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, March 19.—Ambassador Hanihara at Washington today was instructed by Japan to brotest anew against the execution of article 28 of the United States Shipping Laws, providing for preferential railway frieght rates on cargo carried to and from the United States on American vessels. The foreign office here con- tends that provision, which has been |y suspended since 1920, violates articles 1 and 6 of the treaty of commerce and |3 navigation of 1911. Cabled reports from Washington of the decision to enforce article 28 on and after May 20 created intense cxcitement in Japanese shipping cir- cles. The department of communi- cations at onces urged Foreign Min- ister Matsui to take diplomatic ac- Conferences between officials of the foreign office and the comm nications department are continui It was indicated that reprisals in cus toms on railway chargés are being considered in event satisfaction is not obtained through channels. NOT SERIOUS DIFFERENCE. diplomatic Officials here expect no serious con- troversy to resu't from the Interstate Commerce Commis:ion Tuling providing 1 ntial rail-and-water rates on rted or imported in Ameri- Can s The v sient appears to be that the new and lower through rates granted on such shipments will have no bearing on aty gation, Commerce Commis- sion officials expect the decrease to be borne enthely by the leaving steamship rates when con- sidered by themselves at their pres- ent levels. Thus, it is contended, the arrangement in its practical operation is one relating to domestic rates only, 2 subject not to be regulated by treaty. Any complaints made by for- cign governments will be given full and careful consideration at the State Department. of the Washington govern- | railways, | ALEXANDRIA.
