'RETURN

Japan
Says

Takes
Serious
View
Of

Seizure
Of

From

23:
Japanese
authorities
take
a
serious
view
of
the
Incident
of
the
halting
of
the
liner

close
to
the
jJapanese
coast
and
removing
21
seamen
who
were

enroute

It
Is
described
as
an
"unfriendly

and
today
It
was
announced
that
the
Japanese
foreign
minister
would
insist
on

of
the

had

Is
suggested
that
there

campaign
to
arouse
Japanese
public
opinion
and
that
the
German
embassy
in
Tokyo
has
something
to

with

It
is
pointed
out
that
Japan
does
not
contest
the
right
the
British
to
seize
the
men
from
neutral
vessels
if
they
may
be
deemed
valuable
In

That

At

held

the

Chamber
is
taking

action
to

and
see
if
it
may
not

be
possible
to
secure
at

W.

and
there

attendance
pL
members.
Correspondence
was
read
showing
what
steps
had
been
taken
so
far
In
connection
with
these
contracts.
,The
Board
had
wired
Premier
T.
D.
Pattullo
who
was
in
Ottawa
asking
him
to
help
and
he
had
wired
back
Immediately
accepting
the
task
and
later
had
sent
an
air
mall
communication
telling
the
Chamber
how
.matters
stood.
Of
the
fifteen
con-
tracts
to
be
awarded
Just
now,
sev-;en
were
allotted
to
Pacific
Coast
yards
but
the
difference
between
the
Prince
Rupert
tender
and
the
tenders
for
southern
yards
was
so
great
that
none
came
here.
Mr.
Pattullo
said
that.
If
the
Prince
Rupert
tender
could
be
scaled
down,
he
would
do
his
best
to
try
to
secure
a
contract
but
at
the
prices
quoted
he
did
not
think
It
possible.
The
Chamber,
after
receipt
of
the
letter,
got
In
touch
with
the
superintendent
of
the
dry
dock
and
found
that
the
Prince
Rupert
tender
was
prepared
in
Vancouver
and
the
local
staff
knew
nothing
about
it.
A
copy
of
a
letter
sent
by
O.
W.

was
read.
It
was
a

and
dealt

Mr.

complained
bitterly

repeating
