Facilities In Japanese Controlled Ports , (British Official Wireless., (Received March 28. 8.10 p.m.) ’• RUGBY, March 27. Answering a question in the House of Commons regarding the facilities allowed British shipping in Chinese coastal ports in Japanese occupation, the Foreign Under-Secretary. Mr. Butler, said: “At Shanghai there is no interference with British shipping. “At Tientsin the situation, generally speaking, is satisfactory. “At Chefoo conditions on the whole are worse than in 1937, but there has been no discrimination for the past 18 months, In which period working conditions have remained the same. “At Tsingtao additional wharves are still available and improved conditions continue, but the berths allotted, to power shipping are very exposed and have inadequate accommodation, so that some delay is being experienced byBritish shipping. “At Canton weekly sailings under agreement with the Japanese are at present suspended by mutual arrangement, but negotiations are still proceeding.”
