London, To-day-

Replying in the House of Commons to ques- tions regarding the situation in China the Foreign Minister, Mr. Anthony Eden, yesterday briefly re- called the establishment of the Hopei-Chahar Political Council and also the administration of the demilitarised zone in north-eastern Hopei by the autonomous council.

He added that so far as he was aware, the British interests in North China were not materially affected

Meanwhile it had been reported that the Japanese Govern- ment had accepted the Chinese Government's invitation to discuss outstanding points, and there was reason to hope that an effort would be made to regularise the position through diplomatic įchannels.

IMPORTANT FOREIGN

QUESTIONS

London, To-day.

Among a number of important questions which were down for answer at the first meeting of the House of Commons for business since the adjournment before Christmas were several relating to foreign affairs. Replies were given by Mr. Anthony Eden, who, ris ing to answer for the first time a Foreign Secretary, was loudly cheered.

Mr. Eden announced the issue of two-White Papers containing the collection of documents descriptive of the League's work on the Italo-Ethiopian dispute, and correspondence, in connection with

the application of Article XVI of the League Covenant” blication of these papers enabled the Foreign Secretary to confine his replies to half a dozen questions on the Italo Ethiopian dispute, to a description of the latest developments.

He recalled that
