BUY OIL FROM MEXICO
Mexico City, To-day
It is reliably reported that Ja- pan is negotiating for the pur- chase of 30,000,000 barrels of oil from the Mexican Government on more advantageous terms than those enjoyed by Germany and arranged without agents.--Reu- ter.
Vernon Bartlett, 'writing in the "News Chronicle," understands that Mr. Arita, the Japanese For- eign Minister, interviewing the British and American Ambassadors last week, emphasised his policy of gradually excluding their compa- Italy, as the transaction is to be triots from the economic life of the Far East. However, he made no direct threat to denounce the
Nine-Power Treaty which would doubtless lead EXPORTS TO
to counter-measures against Japanese trade, elsewhere.

FAIT ACCOMPLI LOOMING?
London, To-day.
Mr. Neville Chamberlain in the House of Commons yesterday de clared that he had nothing to add
assurance will not
to Mr. Malcolm MacDonald's state- ment when asked by Mr. Duncan Sandys (Conservative) to give an that the Government enter into negotiations with any foreign power regarding proposals for the relinquishment of British sovereignty or adminis- Exports to China eligible for tration in respect of any British guarantees under the Export dated territories without previous. Colonies, protectorates or man-
stands, met with a blank assurance of prefer- CONSIDERATION
ences between Far Eastern powers for the benefit of China.
"These assurances carry dess and less weight with the British Government, and it would not be surprising if the difficulties became acute during New Year.".
The "Birmingham Post" states that the Yangtze Valley is going to be the battle ground where the free trading nations of the world. will have to fight the grandiose Japanese conception of closed
economy.
The paper urgently warns manu- facturers interested in China trade against the short sighted policy of assuming that they will do better with Japanese agents than the old established British firms in China.
UNITED FRONT
The call to stand by the latter has a realistic basis and in no way depends upon sentiment.
In the long run, British commer- cial interests in China will depend on the Chinese and not the Japan-
еве.
If the manufacturers in the United Kingdom and British mer- chants in China present a united front, they will save a substantial part of their businesses, but dis- unity is fatal. Reuter.

CRISIS LOOMING
1
here
London, To-day. While official quarters refuse to make any statement regarding the conversation which the British Ambassador in Tokyo had with the Japan- ese Foreign Minister, the "Daily Mail" as well as the "News Chronicle" fear that 1 new crisis in relations between Bri- tain and the United States on the one hand and Japan on the other, is imminent in view of the systematic Japanese en- deavours to eliminate British and American trade.
The diplomatic correspondent of the "Daily Herald" reports that experts of the British Board of Trade and the United States Department of Commerce are examining measures
that might be taken.
The American Ambassador In London, Mr. Joseph Ken- nedy, the paper says, was sum- moned to Washington for &
discussion on this question and the British Ambassador in
Washington who arrived in London to-day, will likewise discuss the matter with the British Government
LONDON RESENTMENT
Mr. Vernon Bartlett declares in the "News Chronicle" that the Japanese attitude has caused considerable
.resent- ment which is rapidly grow- ing. Endeavour to introduce preferential traffic for Ja- panese and Manchurian pro- ducts imported into China might not constitute actual violation of treaties but are bound to affect the interests of the other countries. No one will be surprised, therefore, if an acute crisis arises early next year-Trans-Ocean.
