The British Government has ap- proached the combatants repentedly, declared Mr. Eden.

The Foreign Secretary expressed the readiness of the British Govern- ment to consider a suggestion by Commander J. Wedgwood, Labour M.P. for Newcastle, that the Vatican should be approached for its con- demnation.

The sole desire of the British Government, declared Mr. Eden, was to put a stop to what they regarded as an wholly legitimate practice of warfare.center.

SZECHUEN TROUBLES SMOOTHED

Civil Strife Now Unthinkable

Hankow, Feb. 8. The rumours of serious trouble in Szechuen are discounted here. It is pointed out that civil strife in the province at this time is unthinkable and further that there are strong Central Government Harrisons throughout the province, making any attempt nt a coup unhealthy for dis- contented leaders.

Moreover, no provincial leader is able to rally local opposition to the Central Government. It is admitted opposition-exists, but it is contended that it is not irreconcilable.

Meanwille, Mr. Lu Tso-fu and General Hoh Kuo-kwang have con- at ferred with military lenders Chengtu during the week-end and have reported "a happy result." The former is the newly-appointed Vice- Minister of Communications and leading Szechuen industrialist, and the latter is director of the provisional headquarters
