(British Official Wireless.)

Lord Cranborne, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, replied in the House of Commons to a question on the Far Eastern situation. He said that signs of tension had recently appeared in the relations of the South-western Provinces of China with the central Government but there seemed to be no sufficient reason at present to take an alarmist view of the position.
Regarding smuggling in North China he said that conversations had continued between his Majesty's representatives in Japan and China and the Government to which they were accredited. The Japanese Government had dispatched an official of the Foreign Ministry to examine the situation on the spot.
Lord Cranborne stated that he understood that the Japanese garrison in North China was being reinforced, but he was unable to give actual figures.
