Referring to the Austrian loan negotiations, he said that it was impossible at present to make any announcement with regard to the nature of the action likely to be taken, which must clearly depend upon circumstances.
TRADERS WARNED
The Government still hoped that the negotiations would reach a successful conclusion but traders must recognise that there might be difficulties in obtaining payments | after the end of June and must, therefore, use discretion in accept ing any new commitments which might result in the accumulation of debts in Germany.-Reuter.

BISHOP HECKLED AT LONDON PROTEST MEETING: MR. YOSHIDA'S CONFESSION
London, To-day.
The Bishop of Chelmsford was subjected to pro- longed jeering and heckling yesterday when, at the meeting of the China Campaign Com- mittee at Queen's Hall, he urged that force should not be used to induce Japan to abandon the bombings of Canton.
Instead, the Bishop suggested, an attempt should be made to convince the Japanese that they were losing face all over the world.
