The British Government is still without any reply from the Ja- panese and Chinese Governments to the suggestion made for the restoration of the present situa- tion at Shanghai which, according to to-day's news from telegrams. continues to deteriorate.

The reactions to the British pro- posals in semi-official circles in Tokyo appear to have been un- sympathetic which has caused disappointment here.

In Nanking, although there has been no official reply to the reac- tion, it is understood to have been on the whole favourable and this fact has been noted with satisfac- tion.

Proposals for mutually agreed withdrawal of forces now in con- flet from the Shanghai Zone were made with a view to securing an isolation from the warlike opera- tions of the International Settle- ment, where many countries and Britain. in outstanding measure, have very large financial. com- mercial and industrial interests and where a large foreign popula- tion resides.

Reports from Tientsin state that Aring is distinctly audible in the city, and that the population, more especially the people in the Chi- nese city is restless and unenay.

A house-to-house search conduct- ed by the Japanese in the Chinese city has not contributed to the ease of mind of the population.
