(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.)
(Received July 5, 9.30 a.m.) TOKIO, July 4.
The British Ambassador, Sir Robert Craigie, discussed with the Foreign Minister, Mr. Arita, the agenda of the conference on the Tientsin situation, which is to open on July 6. (Independent Cable Service.) TIENTSIN, July 4. | British subjects in the concession are growing restive under what has been regarded up to the present as I the weak attitude of Britain against j Japanese insults. Residents have i shown very great patience under the greatest provocation, but they now feel that Britain must insist on respect for her nationals during the negotiations.
The food shortage in the concession has become more acute. No milk, meat, or fish is available, and the blockade has been extended to cover coal and firewood. The food restrictions have been imposed in order to affect the Chinese, in the hope that they will blame the British.
