Following their conversations both Sir Ronald and Mr. Phillips were very reticent. But the British Ambassador admitted that two phases of the Sino- Japanese situation had been discussed.

The State Department, later, asserted that the dis- cussions were chiefly factual and had not resulted in any changing of policy nor any definite diplomatic

moves.

London, June 17. Something of Great Britain's policy and plans in connection with the protection of Europe against war and the defence of her own shores in case of aggression, was revealed when the House of Commons resumed to-day.

The particularly responsible and delicate business of achieving an aerial pact amongst the European powers was in the hands of Mr. Anthony Eden, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister stated when answering the somewhat critical remarks of Mr. George Lansbury, Labour leader. He had twitted the Prime Minister upon the duties of the Ministers with- out portfolio, of whom Mr. Eden is one, and Mr. Baldwin was curt in his reply.

The House was told something of the plans to expand the Royal Air Force and the steps which were being taken to guard against profiteering in the air- craft industry.
