Concern For Safety Of British Interests
JAPANESE TROOPS IN SETTLEMENT
London, Nov. M.
A long string of questions on Far Eastern affairs was a feature of the House of Commons Order Paper this afternoon.
Mr.
Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary, said he understood the Japanese authorities were discussing with the municipal authori- ties in the Shanghai International-Settlement the various matters which come under the head of suppression of anti-Japanese activi- ties, and the Chinese Government's organisations in the Settlement. It was too soon to state the result of those discussions, which were continuing, but Sir Robert Craigle, the British Ambassador to Tokyo, the It is stated, has been independent Japanese Government of its promises that its polley is to respect

The Commissioner presses bis determination to press forward" with the development of new industries In the areas. The question of the location of the in- dustry. he says, Iles very near the root of the problem of the special areas and the view is expressed that Government cannot, especially since the introduction of tarifs and quotas, evade all responsibility for the location of the Industry.---- British Wireless.

Arthur Henderson (Lab.) was constantly being pressed on asked if it was not a monstrous the local Japanese authorities in outrage on the part of the Japan-Shanghai, ese Government to make any such.. ex-demands to those who control a Settlement on territory belonging to the Chinese nation, and Mr. A. C. Moreing Con.) asked if the Bri- tish Clovernment would give every support to the Shanghai Munici- pal Counell in any resistance t may make to these demands.
On the subject of the seizure.or Maritime Customs launches by the Japanese for military purposes, Mr. Eden said instructions had been sent to Sir Robert Craigle in regard to the matter.
Mr. P. J. Noel-Baker (Lab.) ask. ed if he was to understand that the Japanese military are in oc- and we
Mr. Anthony Eden: Yes, that has already been done.

Mr. Eder replied that that was entirely a different question from the one de paper.

Asked by Mr. G. le M. Mander (Lib. why Japanese troops were permitted to march through the
Settlement. Mr. Eden replied that permission was neither sought nor granted. The Japanese troops were in the Settlement already on
the same basis as other nation's troops when hostilities broke out. As far as he was aware Japanese troops had not marched through the Settlement to the south of
