London, July 25.
Sir John Haslam, Conservative M. P. for Bolton, asked in the House of Commons to-day whether the Government had considered the desirability of giving notice that Britain would terminate the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of 1911, insofar as it affected the importation of Japanese goods into British Crown Colonies, unless the Japanese Government was prepared to show greater consideration for British trade interests in the Far East.
The Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. R. A. Butler, replied in the affirmative.
"The matter has received some considera- tion, but the Forcign Secretary, Lord Halifax, is not in a position to make a statement at the present time," Mr. Butler said.
