NO GRAVE CONCERN
SHANGHAI QUITE SAFE
OPTIMISM IN LONDON
(Sydney Sun Cable.)
LONDON, 3rd February. There is not likely to be a further development in the Chinese situation until after to-morrow's Cabinet meeting. Meanwhile official circles consider that .the position occasions no grave concern. The annies are reported to be no nearer Shanghai, and the town is in no danger of immediate attack. Residents are satisfied that the protective troops already there will be able to deal with any mob violence.
• There is still hope that Chen will eventually find Britain's terms acceptable. Apparently the somewhat more optimistic tone to-day is due to Chen's difficulty that he has no munitions and no money. Even if he rejects the terms he jvill be powerless to carry on for a prolonged period. The hope is expressed that he will eventually disregard Moscow.
