BRITISH ANXIETY
CABINET TO MEET
EMERGENCY CALL
LONDON, January 8.
The increasingly grave situation in the Far East will be the first subject that Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister, who is in charge of the Foreign Office during the Foreign Secretary's holiday, will tackle when he goes to Downing Street from Chequers on Monday. It is expected that Mr. Chamberlain will call an emergency meeting of Cabinet members who have already returned to London.
The "Sunday Times" diplomatic correspondent points out that an official report of the assault on Shanghai Settlement police has not reached London, but the possibility of firmer action than merely demanding an indemnity and an apology will be examined, although it is difficult to see an alternative to such a course.
