A French news agency reported that Great Britain, France and Ger- many will again attempt to mediate In the Sino-Japanese conflict and that Great Britain will lead in this move- ment. This was indiented by the speech of the Japanese Foreign Minister Mr. Kok! Hirata in the Diet on February 3 in which he expressed a desire to Improve Anglo-Japanese relations.

A London dispatch from the same agency denies the

the report in Yomiuri, influential Tokyo newsTM paper, stating that Great Britain, the United States and France had exert- ed faint pressure on Japan for peace, and states that Sir Robert L. Craigle, the British Ambassador to Tokyo, only enquired from the Japanese Government to what extent it might accept mediation.

The Japanese attitude, he remark- ed, is perfectly clear to the world.
