BITTER CRITICISM OF BRITAIN'S POLICY
London, June 10.
"Japan's annexation-for that is what it will amount to in fact of the most important province in Northern China is the logical continuation of a policy which was begun four years ago with the capture of Mukden," declares the Daily Herald (Labour organ) in the course of a leading article.
The Herald says the movement could have been stopped four years ago, but the British Government re- garded the first aggression with complacency. British Tories, who once exulted over the thought that "the Japs are going to fight the Bolshies for us," now see with dismay that her drive is coming southward, and that her object is to drive British trade and influence! out of China-and Sir Frederick Leith-Ross is being sent to Nanking to stem the tide by examining the economic situation.
The News Chronicle to-day saya that in sending Sir Frederick} Leith-Ross to Chini the British Government shows some apprecia- tion of the danger of the situation to Britain's own stake in the Far Eust.
"But it is too late," the paper says.
China, as her meek submission to any Japanese demands, however
outrageous, shows, is not in a position now to accept advice from any other quarter but one. That Is a fact only lesa serious to Western powers than to China her. self, this journal comments.- Reuter,

CZECHO-SLOVAKS JOIN FRENCH AND RUSSIANS
Moscow, June 10. The Soviet Government to-day issued a com- munique in connection with the visit of Dr. Benes, Czecho-Slovakian Foreign Minister, who is here to initial the mutual defence treaty arranged between the two nations.
The communique says the conversations between M. Maxim Litvinoff, Russian Foreign Commissar, M. Stalin, "dictator" and President of the Executive Com- mittee, and M, Molotov, Secretary of the Central Execu- tive Committee, with Dr. Benes, were carried out in an atmosphere of sincerity and complete understanding.
The representatives of the U.S.S.R. and Czecho- Slovakia were obliged to acknowledge that the feeling of alarm for the continuance of world peace had been intensified, the statement pointed out.

The threat to poace was most noticeable in the realstanes offered to the international measures for collective security.
The communique emphasises the Importance that Russla and Czecho Slovakia attach to an effective and all-embracing realisation of the value of collective security.
PLEDGED TO TASK
They had relterated their de- termination, says the communique, and pledged their Governments to a continuation of efforts to over- come all obstacles to the widest organisation of this guarantee of peace and security.
It is believed, in circles well- informed on political matters, that Czecho-Slovakia has entered into the pact with Russia not so much because she fears aggression but because she is bound to follow the policy indicated by France, to a certain extent. In any event, Moscow on the advisability of Paris and Prague, are agreed with maintaining security through mutual assistance undertakinga. Reuter.
