FOREIGN POLICY
Rome, To-day.
While the Vatican is maintaining the strictest re- serve in its comments on the audience which the Pope granted to the British Minister to the Holy See on Monday, Catholic quarters are be- ginning to criticise the endeavours of Britain and France for conclusion of a pact with the Soviet.
The foreign editor of the clerical organ, “Avven- ire," who warned Mr. Chamberlain in an arti- cle of the dangers inherent in the new British foreign policy, once again criticises Britain.
After referring to questions ask-
ed in the House of Commons on Monday in connection with the
Pope's pence move, the editor says: JAPANESE FIRE
"The Church can make known its clear and unchangeable views re- garding the dangerous conse- quences of a pact with Bolshevism without direct diplomatic action,

"The silence of the Church will not be regarded as tacit consent.
LIP SERVICE!
He continues: "The questions asked in the House were in them- selves clear proof that in the hearts and minds of those who put the questions there was no room for that peace to which they paid lip service."
The editor criticises English press reports of the Pope's peace move, alleging that the reports were published "in order to sabot- age the action of the Pope." Trans-Ocean.

BLANKS TO AVOID
RESTIVENESS
Shanghai, To-day.
The Japanese have found a new cure for restlessness among their troops at least so it seems.
About 5 o'clock one morning, hundreds of Shanghai residents were awakened from sleep by the sound of heavy anti-aircraft fire coming from the direction of Kiangwan, a few miles north of Shanghai.
It lasted for some time and re- minded listeners of the hectic days during the battle for Shanghai in 1937, when Chinese air raids were not infrequent.
A Japanese spokesman, asked for details of the new raid, denied that one had occurred. Asked to explain the reason for the anti- aircraft fire, he thought for a moment and said brightly:
"Because of the hot weather, we were afraid that the Japanese soldiers might become restless, So they were given some blank shells and permitted to shoot them off!"
