“WILL EUROPE & AMERICA ALWAYS

REFRAIN FROM ACTING?”

Dr. Wellington Koo's Review Of Japanese Advances Since 1931

Paris, Dec, 17,

Dr. Wellington Koo, principal Chinese delegate to the League of Nations, addressing the Academy of Diplomacy to-day asked: "Will Europe and America, always refrain from acting? when he historically reviewed the Japanese advances since 1931.

He said that to all appearances the Powers had become silent spectators of a drama, which may not only affect China,“ but vitally modify the future world.

"I Japan ever controls Chin's tremendous manpower and natural wealth she will not hesitate to carry arms to other countries;" ex- claimed Dr. Koo.

The Sino-Japanese conflict was really a test of the solidarity of the forces for peace against those of aggression. He hoped that Franco-British co-operation would develop a worldwide collective peace through the accession of a great democracy across the Atlantic- Reuter

London, Dec. 17.

PLAN TO PROTECT

FOREIGN INTERESTS

Three Great Democracies To Maintain Existing Rights

London. Dec. 17. The creation of a joint advisory council on Far Eastern, affairs in which Britain, the United States and France would be equally re- presented, is advocated by Vice- Admiral C. V. Ustore in an article in the periodical "Great Britain And The East." 11

Vice-Admiral Usborne declares that Anglo-American co-operation failed in 1931 and 1932 owing to each fearing being involved in a struggle from which the other had

withdrawn. Therefore a new me.. thod of co-operation should be introduced. A tripartite council should study to defend the Joint interests of all the three Powers. and the representatives on this counch should be instructed to consider these joint interests and only recommend such action as was necessary to safeguard them.

"Who can doubt that the insis- tence of rights by the three great dernocracles. supported by comb- ined armed forces, would meet with a speedy agreement? Such a combination would not go further than the maintenance of existing rights to solve the problem of the moment," concludes the article.......

DEBATE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS

London, Dec. 18. The debate on foreign affairs which will take place in the Com- mons

on Tuesday will be raised

on the motion for, the adjourn- meat, permitting wide scope for, discussion. but it is kely to be mainly occupied with Far Eastern affairs.

It is anticipated that both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary will speak for the Gov- ernment and that the leaders of the Opposition, Mr. Attlee ond Mr. A. V. Alexander will be the prin- cipal speakers for the Labour Op- position.

On Thursday, on which day the House will rise for the Christmas

Manchester and Bradford Cham- bers of Commerce, it was decided further to communicate with His

Majesty's Government, urging it to press for un early recognition of the principal claims for damage to British property and Interests in China, with a view to their being met at the earliest possible moment.

The committee W15 informed that the British Government had sent a general representation to the Japanese authorities at Dalren detaining" certain cargoes of Bil- tish non-contraband goods con- signed to Shanghal, but which had been diverted by the shipping companies to Dairen owing to the hostilities, and that it was now making detailed representrations based on the particulars of speciac cases furnished by the clmmittee.

Considerable evidence was pro- duced that despite the repeated

by representations

the Government; the Japanese military British

authorities were still raising many difficulties with regard to British property owners having access to their premises and businesses in the Hongkew and Yangtsepoo dia- tricts of Shanghai, and it was de- cided to reimpress the importance of the matter upon the Foreign office, and urge co-operation with the Government of the United States.-- Reuter.

END OF BRITISH

SHIPPING SUBSIDIES

London, Dec. 18. December 31st marks the end of the subsidy which was made avali- able for tramp shipping in respect of each of the three years 1935 to 1937, under the British Shipping Assistance Acts and which was paid in respect of the two years 1935 to 1936.
