Japan Anticipates Agreement To Seven-Point Demands
The third session of the Anglo-Japanese round-table conference in Tokyo yesterday morning discussed the Joint committee's report In connection with the seven Japanese demands, which include the transfer of Cheng Shi-kang'a assassins, control of anti-Japanese elements In Tientsin, dismissal of anti-Japanese officials in the British Concession, employment of Japanese for police and for judiclal work by the Municipal Council and establishment of a co-operative organ between the Municipal Council and the Japanese for the search and arrest of anti-Japanese terrorists.
Commenting on the statement made by Mr. Chamberlain on Monday, a spokesman of the Japanese Foreign Office sold that the Japanese Army has never claimed any sovereignty over Chinese territory.
The New York World Telegram comments that Britoln did not dare to send her fleet to the Far East due to Hitler and Mussolini while the United States did not show any disposition to brandish her fleet before Tokyo; "thus has perished the Nine Power Treaty." In Paris Dr. Wellington Koo said: "It remaine to be seen whether the new agreement really marks the beginning of a new policy on Britain's part towards the Far East." Dr. Koo hoped that the present apprehension was unwarranted."
At the conclusion of yesterday's talks it was stated that agree, ment on the outstanding questions on Tientsin could be expected ta-day.
