A successful pretade to Lausanne · and a tanie for the anaemic dis armament conference is how Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's early visit to Paris for conversations with M. Herriot has been hailed.

It is thought that the staf.akmun of the two equntries were not sunk. ing a cut and dried two-Power agreement ready for presentation at Lausanne, but rather a convey- gönne of attitudes after a searching survey,

It was felt by both Britain and France, however, that the mori torium should be effected in con ditions avoiding unilateral denun-, ciation of her obligations by Ger many, thus giving America's Euro. penn debtors time to concert in a common. atsitude towards their ereditors in the ultimate hope that after the Presidential elections in the United States, America will cancel the debt and make a uni versal clean slate.

AR regards disgamament, the French appear to have verred to wards the British iden öfe military holiday.

The Bank of England has already granted Austria a credit of a hu

LONDON, June 13.

POSSIBILITY of most serious political reactions, with con........... sequent reaction in the whole of the Far East, unless the growing poverty in Japan is arrested, is the development of the cognisance taken by England in her close observation of the Far Eastern situation,

It is realised that Japan's economic condition has greatly become worse by her struggle with Ching, in Shanghai and Man. churia. This is given evidence by the extent of Japanese expendi ture on imported munitions and the effects of the implicable Chinese boycott.

The Financial News points out that Japanese economic stabi lity is dependent to a vital extent on international trade and its restoration is the most urgent task confronting the Par East.

Mr. Green observes that the Shanghal question is older, than the recent Japanese Incursion, as is evidenced by the establishment of the Feetham enquiry with its reasonable basic recommendations. He gives the opinion that Shanghai's stability is necessary before there can be any trade revival in the Far East, and the present uncertainty of Shanghai's inture is undoubtedly affecting trade. and remarks that there is no mailgnity in the idea of the pro- posed conference of interested Powers.

RECOGNITION OF MANCHUKUO

TOKYO, June 13,

HE Seiyukai and Minseito Parties have decided to present a T

joint resolution to the Diet tomorrow, urging the Govern. ment to recognise the Manchukuo as soon as possible.

The Government appears to be sympathetle, but official quar" ters intimate that definite action is not likely before the contents of the Lytton Commission's report are revealed in September..

Count Uchida, who arrived in Tokyo yesterday, is known to favpur an early recognition, consequently the proponents of the proposal are hoping he will accept the Premier's offer of the Foreign PortJallo; though inner circles Intimate his acceptance 'is by no means assured, despite the widespread belief that his acceptance is certain..
