WASHINGTON, APRIL 27. Although the situation in the Far East appears to be more reassuring in view of the unofficial reports of Japan's response to British representations, the United States still regards the Japanese "Hands Off China!" pronouncement to be of paramount im-" portance, far from being disposed of.

Definite action by the United States, however, is ap parently to wait upon specific information, through official quarters, concerning the real aims of Japan- ese policy, which it is learned,. the United States Ambassador, Mr. Grew, has, like the British Ambas. sador, sought from Mr. Hirota.
