London, Nov. 2

No compensation had been paid by the Japanese Government to Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugesacri, ilic British Ambassador, said Mr. Anthony Eden in the House of Commons 10- day, replying to a question by Com- mander O. Locker-Lampson (Con.).

The Foreign Secretary recalled that une had been demanded by the British Government.

Commander Locker-Lampson asic- ed if this was not an ocension when the Government ought to usk some compensation for its representative's loss in health and injury.

Mr. Eden replied in the negative, adding at after careful considera- tlon the British Government thought It more consonant with the import- ance of the occasion to make the compensation itself.-Reuter...
