Japanese Naval Preparations Create Apprehension.

WARNING.
REMINDER OF GENEVA ENGAGEMENTS.
JAPANESE naval preparations and the pre- sence of large Japanese naval forces in Shanghai and the Yangtsze are causing grave apprehension in world Foreign Offices and there is a feeling of intense nervousness as to what may happen.
Senor Lerroux has despatched a message to the Japanese and Chinese Governments reminding them of their undertakings to prevent steps likely to aggravate the Manchurian imbroglio, and there are indications that the United States Government may take action.

INDUSTRY.
"SOCIALISM in our time," is now the official slogan of the Labour Party. Mr. Arthur Henderson's election manifesto, issued last night, the most colourful of all, advocates State control of capital, the creation of a National Board with powers to control domestic and foreign investment, and the nationalisation of the entire banking and credit system,
The Labour Party programme condemns any attempt to bolster up a "bankrupt Capitalism" and urges instead State planning of industry and trade- presumably involving the Soviet system, or a modifica- tion of the Five Year Plan.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lloyd George roundly denounces the Tories for precipitating the election and attempting to exploit the national emergency for Conversative aggrandisement.
