JAPAN’S CONTROL

EXTENDING IN CHINA To Peking and Tientsin FOREIGN POWERS TO SHIFT EMBASSIES. (Aus. ami N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received June 12, at "-55 p.m.) LONDON’, June 12. The “Morning Post’s’’ diplomatic correspondent says:— “Official circles arc closely watching events in North China. It is fully expected that both Peking aud Tientsin will shortly pass over to Japanese control. “It. understood that necessity is sooii to arise of removing riie Embassies ti'iid the Legations of the Foreign l owers to Nanking. “This has been partially anticipated in the case of Britain. Lord Cadogan lias divided his time between Peking and Nanking. The complete transference of the British Bjnbass)will therefore cause no upheaval.

“Japan is expected to concentrate i i; the developing of new markets ir China, rather ‘.han on usurping tin place there held by others. •‘lt is anticipated that Japan will low try to consolidate her position to the north of the Great Mall. Thi* will mean the occupying of Inner Mongolia to the outposts of the Red Arm> in Outer Mongolia. The question remains: \\ ill the Nanking Government submit to further encroachmentsf More surrenders might mean ihe virtual colonisation of •all of China.”
