Britain Doing Everything Possible to Speed Return Of Normal Conditions

London, Mar. 28.

Replying to Mr. A. C. Moreing (Cons.) in the House of Commons to-day, Mr. R. A. Butler, an Under-Secretary in the Foreign Office, said that the main hostilities in China had moved about 200 miles from Shanghai, but severe fighting between Chinese guerilla bands and Japanese troops had recently occurred within 60 miles of the city.

The British Government was doing everything possible to assure the return of normal peace-time conditions.

Mr. Moreing pointed out that the International Police were perfectly able to maintain order in the Settlement, and he wished steps would be taken, in the interests, of British and other countries' trade, for the removal of Japanese troops from the Settlement.
