BRITAIN DISTURBED
NOTE TO TOKIO
THREAT TO INTERESTS
(Received October 13, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, October 12.
The Australian Associated Press says that, disturbed by the magnitude of the new Japanese offensive in South China, Britain has sent a further Note to Tokio through the Ambassador (Sir Robert Craigie). It is understood that Japan has been reminded that relations between Britain and Japan would be jeopardised in the event of threat to the big British interests in Hong Kong and elsewhere in South China.
Acting on the advice of the British Consul, 30 women and children have left Canton for Hong Kong.
A return issued by the Ministry of Transport shows that the total number of licensed motor, vehicles has passed the 3,000,000 mark, states a British Official Wireless message from Rugby.
