BRITISH PEACE MEDIATION EFFORT REPORTS REVIVED
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT) Shanghai, To-day.
Suggestions are again being made in Japanese cir- cles in Shanghai that the new British Ambas- sador, Sir Archibald Clark-Kerr, in spite of de- nials, is, in fact, preparing the ground for Bri- tish mediation in the Far Eastern conflict. Latest indication, in Japanese eyes, that Sir Archi- bald is engaged on such a mission, is a long conversation between the Ambassador and Mr. Shiratori, Japanese Ambassador to Sweden. Sir Archibald called on Mr. Shiratori, who is an old friend of his, at the Cathay Hotel on Monday, and, according to report, "discussed the Far Eastern situation with him in eandid manner and without any reserve.”
