It was all important to know the German and Italian attitudes. inquiries were being made and a meeting of the non-intervention committee would be held shortly. A further effort must be made and it had not been made easter by the events of the last few days.

ASSURANCE GIVEN CHINA "Mention of Anglo-Japanese conversations in the past has given rise to anxiety in certain quarters, that an Anglo-Japanese understanding may be effected at the expense of China and T take this opportunity of renewing once more the assurance I have already given on more than one occasion. that the British Government have no intention of doing anything of that kind.

The Government regretted the failure to reach an agreement on the Leipzig Incident.

It was to misconceive the issue to represent the demand for an in- quiry into the contradictory testi- mony as a refusal of credence to the sincerity or the goodwill of German officers.

Under the rule of law, conflict- ing evidence must be investigated impartially.

Our relations with the Chinese government are excellent. What We hope for and what we wil work for is an increase of friend- skip and mutual trust between all the nations of the Far East.

was general acceptance of the rule of law.

PACIFIC PACT SOUNDINGS Referring to the proposal for a Pacific Pact of Non-Aggression, Mr. Eden said it was a matter which

must be approached with some cir- cumspection and it might be un- wise to attempt any negotiation until they knew a little more clear- ly what were the views of other

governments.

They hoped shortly to make pre- liminary soundings among the in- terested governments, after which they would be in a position to de- cide whether any definite proposals could be made with a reasonable chance of success.
