His Majesty's Government turally reserved all right of British subjects under these regulations, but up to the present no actual case had arisen in which British interests had been affected.

Wharfage Facilities

Mr. Robert Morgan also asked Mr. Butler whether he was aware that the refusal of adequate wharfage facilities at Tsingtao still continues.

Mr. Morgan also asked whether Mr. Butler was aware that the additional herths understood to have been open- ed to third Power vessels on January 13 were not available until March 20, and then only to a limited extent although they had been frequently vacant during that period.

Mr. Morgan also wanted to know whether Mr.' Butler would lay on the table a report on the whole question of discrimination by the Japanese authorities against British shipping. Change For Bottor

Mr. Butler, in reply, said that` In recent weeks some three-fourths of all British vessels calling at Taingtao hod been allotted berths at the wharves.

The additional berths opened in January were made available British ships for the first time on May 4 and 6.

Though

the alluation cannot be described as satisfactory, there is a noticeable change for the better in the treatment of Third Power . na- tionals and shipping.

As regards the inst part of the question, full information had been given in the House from time to time and under tertain circumstances Lord Halifax was not prepared to lay further papers.
