THE CHINA MAIL, MARCH 22, 1933.

BRITAIN REQUESTS THAT JAPANESE TROOPS BE KEPT OUT OF SETTLEMENT

London, To-day.

The Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. R. A. Butler, is in communication with the Consul- General în Shanghai regarding the desirability of representing to the Japanese Government that Japanese officers and soldiers in uniform should not enter the central district of the In- ternational Settlement, which the Japanese troops do not occupy, so as to minimise the risk of incidents.

The position regarding access to British property in the occupied area of the International Settle-

ment had recently improved, said Mr. Butler in the House of Com-1 mons yesterday, but there are still areas where access was denied.

The Japanese anthorities defend continuance of these restrictions on the ground of military necessity. He hoped, however, that the representa- tions being made would result in improvement of the situation. Reuter.
