Tokyo, To-day.

According to a Shanghai message the commander of the Japanese landing party has promulgated a state of emergency în that part of the International Settlement where the Japanese bluejacket, was murdered. The proclamation declares that the only object of the landing party is to protect Japanese lives and property, but those taking hostile action against the Japanese au- thorities or nationals, or disturbing the peace, will be dealt with drastically.

The British Ambassador called on the Foreign Minister and denied the rumour that the Governor of Hong Kong would arbi-) trate between China and Japan. The Ambassador added that the British Government had no intention of intervening in Sino Japanese relations.

Shanghai: Preparations are being made to despatch Japanese trcops to China if the situation becomes worse, according to a message from Tokyo.

London, To-day. "Wait and see" is the motto of Whitehall with regard to the Shanghai incident. Although the incident itself is not thought to be more serious than that which started the Japanese attack on Shanghai in 1952, the important point is what the Japanese want. to make out of it.

There does not seem to be any special reason which Japan should choose this particular moment for another forward movement in China-Eenter.
