PEACE IN CHINA

London, June 22,

In a written statement read in the House of Commons yester- day, the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Mr. H. A. Butler, de- clared that England would be' glad to do everything in her power. alone or in collaboration with other powers, to bring about an armis- tice in China as a forerunner to peace.

He pointed out, however, that there are no grounds for believing hat Japan would accept any foreign proposal which included the withdrawal of the Japanese troops as a basis for negotiations.

The recent statement of the Japanese Foreign Minister is recall- ed, in which he doubted the possibility of any foreign power, being able to intervene between Japan and China-(Transocean)
