LONDON, June 15, ... IT HAS BEEN authoritatively stated that the British and French embassies in Tokyo on Wednesday sent a joint memorandum to the Japanese Foreign Office protesting against the Japanese spokesman's declaration that the Japanese have the right to assume the sovereignty of the foreign settlements in China,
These représentations were parallel with those made, by the United States during the previous week,
Secondly, they reminded the Japanese Foreign Office that before the outbreak of hostilities Japan was always foremost in resisting Chinese intervention in the foreign settlements.
Thirdly, the memorandum emphasised that even if Japan inherits the sovereign rights, which is not conceded, this does not grant the Japanese more voice in administering the settle- ments than the Chinese enjoyed.
Fourthly, the memorandum said that municipal authori- ties in the settlements are doing their utmost to eliminate the anti-Japanese intrigues in foreign areas and neutral settlements.
