TOKIO, 4th February.
The Foreign Office is now considering the Pekin Government's draft treaty, in. which China frankly sets out her desires regarding future relations. It is understood that the Government regards the draft as wholly negotiable. China's proposals are drastic; nevertheless, there is reason to believe that they will generally be acceptable. The final decision depends on the outcome of the Anglo-Chinese situation, well-informed circles now fear complications at Shanghai, pointing • out the simultaneous united China protestsfrom Pekin, Shanghai, and Hankow against the invasion of the British defence forces.
