POSITION IN NORTH CHINA FOREIGN SECRETARY ANSWERS QUESTIONS (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, May 27. (Received May 28, at noon.) Mr Eden answered a number of questions in the House of Commons on smuggling in Northern China. The Foreign Secretary, referring to various suggestions for improving the position, but forward in tbe questions, said he thought the best means of checking smuggling would be the restoration to the Chinese preventive, agencies of the normal means of exercising their authority. So far as he was aware, no other Government, apart from the Chinese, British, and United States Governments, had made representations on this subject to Tokio, but the British Ambassador had kept in close touch with the representatives of other interested Powers. Mr Eden added that the attention of the Japanese Government had been called to the detriment caused to legitimate Japancs interests in general by the incidence of wholesale smuggling in North China.
