Cold British Reaction To Japan's Apology

BUT SATISFACTION EXPRESSED AT GUARANTEES GIVEN

Versions Of Wuhu Attacks Differ Considerably

London, Dec. 30.

Pending the return of Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary, this afternoon, it is not certain whether the Japanese reply to the British note concerning the shelling of the British warships at Wuhu is considered acceptable.

Certain points in the reply are considered to be couched vaguely.

Present indications are that the Foreign Office acknowledgment will be cold, though courteous in tone. It is known that the British Ambassador to Tokyo, Sir Robert Craigie, has already objected to the military report of the incidents on which the Japanese Govern- ment appears to rely. Exception is taken to the assumption that foreign warships and merchant vessels had no right in the vicinity of the fighting.

The British acknowledgment of the reply may point out that the Bri- tish Government prefers to rely on its own report-Reuter,
