STRONG FEELING IN BRITAIN

GOVERNMENT'S ASSURANCE

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- mon's to-day.

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

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

KEPT ON A JUNK. Captain Eden added that the captives, who were not being ill- treated, had been kept in a junk in the Panchan area since their capture.

The local authorities have been requested to take no independent action without first consulting the British vice-Consul at New- chwang, who is in constant touch with all developments and who will take all possible measures to secure the release of the captives. --Reuter and British Wirelesa.

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 in con- sequence of the mutilating effect of the Franco-British amendments upon Signor Mussolini's proposed Four-m Power Pact, it is no longer acceptable to Germány.

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-
