BRITAIN STANDS BY DECLARATION

London, Oct. 18 Britain still stands by the de claration of last December that Germany ought to receive equality of rights in regime and security, declared the " Foreign Secretary, Sir John Simon in a broadcast address last night. A serious fact had' however, emerged, which, while - not altering Britain's pledge, must, necessarily affect the detailed manner of its fulfilment.

Recent events had, increased the nervousness to "a sense of positive alarm, which was the real reason why the heavily-armed States ! hesitate to weaken their armed forces, he said,

·་

"We know the reasons for that anxiety." emphasised, Str John Simon"

There is more anxiety') in England about the internation- al situation than for many years past, while on the Continent It is more acute still."

Sir John Simon detalled the steps taken at Geneva to meet Germany's demands, and said that they were getting a closer approach to a basts of agreement last week. when he asked Germany exactly what she meant by "sample" weapons. But instead of defining "samples," Germany's reply claim- ed substantial re-armament from the very beginning.

He rebutted the accusation made by the German Foreign Minister, Baron von Neurath, mis-stating the facts. He was perfectly ready to publish the documents and re- cords.

Germany's attitude at the last moment had Jeopardised, if not wrecked, the hard work they had all put into the conversations with goodwill,

He was totally unable to ac- cept the reasons Germany gave for withdrawal.

3 John Simon reiterated Mr Stanley Baldwin's dictum that the nation that made. Disarmament impossible would not have a friend in the world.

was called to the report of a state- ment made the previous"night by Baron Von Neurath. suggesting that the British Foreign Secretary had not accurately represented Germany's view point, as conveyed to him on October 6.

Sir John stated: "I should in- deed be sorry if there were any difference on a matter of fact with "Baron Von Neurath. My fellow countrymen may rest as- sured that the suggested to accuracy is not on my side.""

It was on October 6 that the Ger- man Charge d'Affaires in London communicated to Sir John Ger- many's "Observationis" on the Dis- armament situation. A similar communication was made at the same time in Rome, but not to the French or United States Govern- ments whose representatives, had taken part in the earlier conversa- tlons.

These "Observations" seriously affected the situation and, imme- dlately after hearing them, the British Foreign Secretary com- municated them to the French and Italian Ambassadors in London, -

Shortly after reaching London the Foreign Secretary had a long conversation with the Prime Mini-. ster, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, and Mr. Baldwin. Sir John Simon last night broadcasted a statement apori the recent developments in disarmament situation--Eri- tish Wireless Service.

BRITISH SENTENCED TO DEATH

CASE

JURY'S STRONG RECOMMENDATION

FOR MERCY

Shanghal, October 18. The trial of Mrs. Hadley which began yesterday and was continued at this morning's session was most dramatic. Mrs." Hadley presenting a pathetic spectacle, frequently sobbing bit- terly..

»

Her Counsel elicited that when she met Youngs she was the occupant of a house of ill fame from where he took her as his mistress.

Mrs. Hadley testified that she had frequently tried to break away in order to endeavour to lead a good life but Youngs always hunted for her and brought her back to the old terrible life with a "wolf," culminating on the night of the tragedy when she drank nearly a quart of Vodka and lost consciousness, only awaking at the police station to hear of the death of, Youngs.

The jury after seventy-two minutes absence brought in a verdict of guilty with a strong recommendation for mercy,

Judge Grant Jones passed the death sentence. The accus- ed received the verdict without emotion.

The Judge in summing up pointed out that the defence pies of provocation and, intoxication were insuficient to reduce the crime of murder to manslaughter.

The sentence must be confirmed by Sir Miles Lampson.

Up

to date no woman has been executed in China by order of a British Court..

STORY OF TRAGEDY

A message from Shanghai dated Aug. 17 stated:

A drama enacted in a house in the Yangtsepoo. District last night, terminating in tragedy, is engaging the attention of the police and is likely to be described shortly before a Magistrate.

Found in an unconscious condition in his house, Captain Youngs, who is variously described as a Briton and as a Swede, died as the result of wounds received while on his way to hos- pital

Captain Youngs was found to be suffering froad

детето knife wounds in the neck and he had. suffered a considerable loss of blood before the police arrived at the scene of tragedy.

As a result of the affair, a foreign woman, believed to be Russian, has been detained.

She was found lying on a bed in an adjoining room in a distraught frame of mind.

There were evidences of a desperate struggle when the police party arrived. Captain Youngs was lying in a pool of his own blood with two knife wounds.-Reuter.

VICTIM IDENTIFIED

The body of the vistim has now been identified as that of Captain Walter Clifford Youngs, an ex-mariner and rolling stone. Captain Youngs was born in London on October 18, 1879; He was of gypsy biood, his father being a native of Portsmouth.

The woman detained by the police, who believe her to be British by marriage, has not yet sufficiently recovered from the shock of the affair to undergo examination.

The British Consulate has taken over jurisdiction of the case. -Reuter.
