STRONG FEELING IN BRITAIN

London, Apr. 6. The strong feeling aroused in England by the kidnapping of the officers of the s.s. Nanchang at Newchwang was reflected in questions in the House of Com- mons to-day.

Captain Anthony Eden, Foreign Under-Secretary, gave an assur- ance that the local authorities were searching and doing their utmost to rescue Messrs. Johnson, Hargrave and Blue.

He mentioned the release of Mr. F. L. Pears and said that he car- ried with him to Newchwang a letter from the chief of the bri- gands demanding as ransom considerable sum of money and a large quantity of arms and ammunition.

DALADIER SPEECH

LONDON, APR. 7.

GROWING TENSION IN EUROPE, ARISING LARGELY FROM THE RISE OF MILITARISTIC NATIONALISM IN NAZI GERMANY, IS CAUSING MUCH ANXIETY.

Efforts to forestall a crisis appear foredoomed to failure. A semi-official Berlin report states that în con- sequence of the mutilating effect of the Franco-British amendments upon Signor Mussolini's proposed Four Power Pact, it is no longer acceptable to Germany,

France declines to budge from her position, though she is ready to conclude a Pact along the lines of the Mussolini proposal. In the Chamber, M. Paul Boncour accused the Italo-German bloc of putting obstacles in the way of the Disarmament Conference, a continuance of which opposition would create war in Europe to

morrow.
