SPOKESMAN'S ATTACK ON S'HAI SETTLEMENT
SHANGHAI, July 31,
THE JAPANESE army spokesman to-day criticised the attitude of the International Settlement authorities, whom he accused of tolerating anti-Japanese intrigues in the Settlement. The spokesman declared that the Chungking Govern- ment was endeavouring, through Its. emissaries, to recruit soldiers among the Chinese unemployed, and that Chinese agitators had reached Shanghai from Hongkong in order to carry on anti-Japanese agitation..
There was evidence, sold the spokesman, that in both cases the International Settlement was the centre of the activity. Trans-Ocean,

ANOTHER RAID ON
Sir Archibald declared that they stood in urgent need of reassurance about the negotiations with Russia, and he thought the House should not adjourn for a long period, until those negotiations had been concluded.
It was his contention that a full account of the negotiations should have been given to the House a long time ago.
***Sir Archibald Sinclair declared that he had been convinced by the speeches of M. Stalin and other Russian statesmen, and by the resolutions passed by the organs of the Government, that the Soviet believed in agreement in the interests of the Russian people.
