Cold Reception by British Press
Doabts About Chamberlain’s
Statement
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDEK THAN WOEDS”
Received Tuesday, 10.30 p.m. LONDON, July 25.
Most of the newspapers give a sold reception to Mr. Chamberlain’s Far Eastern statement.
The News Chronicle says the statement goes far to justify the Japanese claims that Britain has accepted the Japanese thesis. It is to be feared that Russia and the United States may feel there is more truth in the Japanese version of the talks than Mr. Chamberlain 'a inasmuch as actions speuk louder than words. The Government might bick up its interpretation by arranging forthwith for a substantial credit to China.
The Daily licrald asks what is Japan recognising on behalf of Britain and points out that this is not disclosed. The agreement as stated by Mr. Chamberlain cannot possibly mean other than a recognition of Japan’s conquest of parts of China.
