This is the gist of a communique issued from the Foreign Office to- night,

There is no truth in the report that the Government Is contem- plating a policy of evacuation, the communique adds. The Govern- ment intends to persist in its efforts to secure exclusion of Shanghal from the area of host-

It will be remembered, the com- munique continues, that both the Chinese and Japanese Govern- ments have been notified that His Majesty's Government reserves Its. right to hold them responsible for damage or loss of British life or property resulting from the actions of Chinese and Japanese forces in the course of the present hostilities in China. Protests have been ad- dressed to the Japanese Govern- ment concerning the occupation of British properties in the Interna- tion Settlement by Japanese forces

and warning that compensation for the occupation and for any loss or damage to such properties will be claimed.

Regarding the increasing num- ter of attacks on British shipping in the Mediterranean, the Government proposes to maintain continuously for the present at least one flotilla of destroyers and two heavier ships in the eastern basin of the Medi- terranean for the "protection of British merchantmen. This will make a total of eleven warships in all stationed in this area for this

It has also given instruc- Hans for two or three men to be discharged from the Navy, their services being no longer required.

Discipline on board the Warspite is now entirely satisfactory. The Court of Inquiry consisted of three senior naval officers.- Brith Wireless.
