Shanghai, To-day.

While no further developments have occurred to aggravate the situation at Shanghai, the undercurrent of uneasiness is exemplified by the unending exodus from Chapei, which per- sists in both Chinese and foreign circles. Alarmist rumours, such as that Japanese troops have landed at Liubo on the Yang- tse estuary, have undoubtedly stimulated the evacuation.

Paris, To-day.

M. Laval received the Italian Ambassador, Signor Cerruti, again yesterday when, according to well-informed quarters, the conversation dealt with the Italian protest note as well as the Medi- terranean question, which is now the subject of pourparlers between Rome and London. M. Laval, it is understood, merely acknowledged re- ceipt of the note and reiterated the reasons which obliged France, as a member of the League of Nations, to adopt her present attitude.

A Brussels message states that in its session yesterday the Cabinet approved the text of three decrees enacting (1) The prohibition of all credits to Italy, (2) an embargo on the supplies of ammunition to Italy; and (3) that within a fortnight the Bel gian Congo will also adopt these measures.

.....

Vehement protests against Belgium's sanctions policy were made in a meeting at Brussels attended by 3,000 persons, at which the principal speaker was the Italian deputy Signor Carlo del Croix, leader of the Italian disabled ex-service men, who gave a lecture on the Italo-Abyasinban war.
