LONDON ANTI-JAPAN BOYCOTT MOVE

Ca-Operative Society Stops Buying Nippon Goods London, Jan. 10.

The London Ca-operative Society, representing 700,000 members, as the result of representations from many quarters, has instructed its buyers not 4 to purchase Japanese goods where an alternative source of supply exists.

The Society also urges the Cooperative Wholesale Society, representing 8,000,000 members, to take similar action.

"We are distressed at the indiscriminate bombings of Chinese women and children," the Society declares, "and we have addressed Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary; Viscount Cranborne, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and Geneva, voicing our indignation."—Reuter.
