Sensible Policy In

Far East

London. Oct. 9. Friendliness towards Japan was urged by Str Francis Lipdlay, former British Ambassador to Tokyo, in the course of a speech before members of the Royal Asar Society.

Su Francis declared that "out best line of policy is to keep on good terms with Japan, and, above all not to encourage the Chinese unless we are in a position and intend to give them material as sistance.
