LIBERAL VIEWS. Sir Herbert Samuel, following the Foreign Secretary, said that British public opinion was run- ning strongly against the Japan- ese Government's action, but it was solely on the merits of the
care.
An embargo en arms exports to China and Japan was more in- jurious to Chinese, interests than to Japan, as China depended far more upon imports.

SIR AUSTEN'S FAITH SHAKEN.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, who has shown strong inclination to support Japan hitherto, told the Commons that as the situation in the Far East had developed, his sympathy with Japanese policy had diminished.
