WHAT'S DOING?

Beyond the admission that con- versations of a general kind be-. tween the British and Japanese Governments have been proceeding in London there has been unusual silence on the subject,

This silence may or may not re present the importance of the con- versations, but it compares attie strangely with the freedom with which they have been "discussed in the Japanesë press quite recently.

The "Ocaka Mainichi," for in- stance. in its issue of May 21," announces with confidence that Mr. Sato, Foreign Minister in the late Government, had ordered the -Japanese Ambassador in London to end the preliminary discussions and to imitate formalnegotia-, tions' soon after the Coronation.” If this is true; ns seems probable, It is the first that has been heard of it outside Japan.

The paper goes on, with rather less confidence, to give the Instruc- tions to the Japanese Ambassador for these "formal negotiations." It is to be "an entente cordiale for in Angle-Japanese co-operation China"."

Japan is ready, to acknowledge the British position in Central and "South" China, while Britain will be asked to recognise the "Fait ac- compli” of Manchukuan indepen- dence and Japan's special interests in North China.
