LABOUR AND ANGLO-FRENCH CONVERSATIONS
London, To-day.
The Prime Minister read the communique to the House of Com- mons when questioned regarching the conversations of the last two days with the French statesmen, M. Chautemps and M. Delbos.
The French Ministers were glad to recognise that while Lord Hali- fax's visit, being of private and up- official character, was not expected to lead to any immediate results, it had helped to remove the causes of international misunderstanding and was well calculated to improve the atmosphere. The problems Europe as whole and the future pro- -spects of appeasement and disarma- ment came under review. On these important subjects, the French and British Ministers found fresh evid- ence of that community of attitude and outlook which so happily char
acterises the relations between France and the United-Kingdom."

JAPAN GETTING FEET 15: DEEPER INTO
INTERNATIONAL QUAGMIRE
London, To-day.
Discussing the situation in China, The Times" writes that the Far Eastern conflict doubtless form- ed one of the subjects of conversation in the Anglo- French talks, since French Indo-China and the French Concession at Shanghai constitute inter- ests comparable with British interests in Hong Kong and the International Settlement.
After admitting that Japanese strategy has been, on the whole, successful, the journal discus- ses the prospects of peace and says that since Tokyo has not even outlined the basis on which peace could be concluded, it could not be expected that a third power would consent to the delicate and thankless task of offering its mediation.
In view of probable territorial demands by Japan, and deter mination of the Chinese to re- sist them, the journal considers the prospects of peace at the present time to be unfavourable.
In this connection, the jour- nal observes that Japan un- doubtedly desires to retain a large part of China, but that the task of maintaining order there would be more difficult and costly than in Manchukuo. On the other hand, utterances of Japanese statesmen had revealed their conviction that war between Japan and Russia will be inevit- able sooner or later, and that in such an event Japan hopes to be able to rely on the co-operation of China:
