BRITISH CABINET MEETING ON
FAR EAST
London, To-day.
The next meeting of the Cabinet, scheduled for to-morrow (Wednesday) will probably deal with the Mediterranean and the British protest to Japan Over the Hugessen Incident.
The British Ambassador to Rome, the Earl of Perth, is likely to be called before the Cabinet to give his views on the Mediterranean crisis.
Sending of a further Note to Japan will also probably be on the agenda, and a request will prob- ably be made to Tokyo to forward her final reply to the previous British Note.
