WITHHOLD ARMS TO JAPAN?
London, November 17.
"In view of the findings of the Brussels conference, will the British Government recommend to the governments concerned the desirability of withholding all further supplies of "arms and war munitions from Japan while continuing to supply China?"
This was the question put by Mr. Arthur Henderson (Lab.) to Lord Cranborne in the House of. Commons to-day, and Lord Cranborne replied that the parties to the declaration were at present considering what should be their common attitude in view of the position taken up by Japan regarding their under- takings under the Nine-Power Treaty and the Kellogg Pact Pending the re-assembling at the Brussels conference it was im- posible to estimate the chance of securing agreement on any common action.
Mr. Henderson asked Lord Gran- borne to bear in mind that if China is to be helped, positive action must be taken, in addition to pass resolutions (Ministerial cries CI "Go to war").
Mr. Vyvyan Adams (Cons. ask- ed if any measure of collective pressure against the aggressor in the Far East was contemplated, and Lord Cranborne advised him to put down the question.
Mr. Noel Baker (Lab.) asked if the Government was of the opin- on that the Brussels declaration was in any way inconsistent with the Geneva resolution condemning Japan as the aggressor.
Lord Cranborne replied: "No."— Better.

NO CROSSING MADE YET
Palping, Nov. 18. Japanese troops in north Shan- tung have so far made to attempt to cross the Yellow River, stated an official spokesman who hinted
that the offensive was halted to give. Han Fu-chu a chance to turn over his province and avoid fur- ther bloodshed.-- Reuter.

In an Interview with Reuter, Mr. Que Tai-chi sald be was of the opinion that the Brussels con- ference took a satisfactory course. The clear and direct reply to Japan's refusal to attend was all the more forcible in view of the restraint. patience and considera- tion with which the conference had acted towards Japan..
RESPECT FOR TREATIES "I would emphasise the immense importance of the speeches of the British, American and French dele-
gates which unitedly stressed res- pect for treaties as the only basis for orderly, civilised life between nations, without which the world must relapse into anarchy.”
Mr. Quo Tai-chi was of the opin- lon that the unanimity of these speeches was partly meant as an implied reply to the Italo-German- Japanese Pact. He said "that un- official conversations between the delegates had revealed a distinct feeling that the Far Eastern crisis must not be allowed to remain on the plane merely of academic dis- cussion.
Mr. Que Tal-chi returns to Brus- sels on Friday, Reuter.
