London, Feb. 17.
A telegram expressing "consternation" at the resolution to be submitted to the Council of the Fede tion of League of Nations Unions was sent to the League of Nations Unions to-day by Mr. Inagaki, European representative of the International Association of Japan.
The resolution, which recommends a boycott on Japanese goods, might, Mr. Inagaki said, compromise the traditional friendship existing between the two countries.
"We regret as much as you," the Executive Committee of the Union replied, "anything which may injure Anglo-Japanese relations, but must point out that the widespread feeling in the country to refuse to buy Japanese goods was caused by Japan's action in consistently refusing to accept any third party Judgment in her dispute with China, and resorting to war in disregard of the obligations under the treaties of which your country and ours are ce-signatories.
"This feeling can only be removed by an indication of Japan's intention to return to a policy of harmonious international collaboration and by the withdrawal of her troops from Havas.
