NO NEGOTIATION AT PRESENT ON SHANGHAI SETTLEMENT ISSUES
London, To-day.
Mr. Arthur Henderson (Labour) sought informa- tion in the House of Commons yesterday about the situation in the International Settlements at Shanghai and Amoy. The Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. R. A. Butler, recalled that the Japanese Government had recently put forward suggestions for revi- sion of the Land Regulations of the Interna- tional Settlement at Shanghai and the consti- tution of the Chinese courts there.

The same observations applied with equal force to administration of the Chinese courts in the Settle- ment, which were established under a multi-lateral agreement.
Mr. Butler continued it was un- derstood that the United States Government had replied in similar fashion.
