Butler (Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs) announced that the Tientsin conversations had been suspended, and he added that the Government was willing and anxious to continue the conversations in the hope of reaching agreement on the outstanding points. Considerable criticism followed the announcement that the four accused Chinese had been handed over to Japan, to which Mr Butler replied that many technical and legal questions were involved.
