London, To-day. That the Japanese authorities have refused to allow, British railway officials to inspect the Shang- hai-Nanking line on behalf of British mort- gagees of the railway revenues, and that they themselves are selling passenger tickets on the line, were allegations made in the House of Commons yesterday by Mr. A. C. Moreing (Conservative, Preston).

Mr. Moreing asked whether the Government was aware of these facts, and what steps they were taking.

replied

the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. R. A. Butler, adding that he was aware of the refusal to allow inspection of the railway line.

In regard to the sale of tickets, he understood that permits to travel on the line were issued by the Ja- panese military authorities, and holders of the permits had to pay fares.

The British Ambassador had urg- ed the Japanese authorities to en- sure the safeguarding of British interests in the line.

TOKYO APPROACH

The British Ambassador in Tokyo had also taken up the matter, and had asked the Japanese Govern- ment to afford an early opportunity for inspection and survey of the line and the necessary measures to safeguard British bondholders'

in-" terests.

"VESTED INTERESTS"

Mr. A. V. Alexander (Labour, Hillsborough) asked if this was one of the vested interests to which Mr. Hirota (the Japanese Foreign Minister) had referred, and could they rely that there would be selling of the Chinese people for vested interests?

Mr. Butler: "Mr. Alexander may rest assured that we shall consider the British interests concerned." Reuter.
