Tientsin Pressure Increases
(Independent Cable Service.) (Received 11.0 a.m.) LONDON, July 4. Britons in the Concession at Tientsin are growing restive under what is regarded as the weak attitude, so far, of Britain against the Japanese insults. Residents have shown the greatest patience under the greatest provocation, and now feel that Britain must insist upon respect for her nationals during the negotiations in Tokio. The food shortage in the Concession; is more acute. There are no milk, meat or fish, and the blockade has been extended to cover coal and firewood. The food restrictions are believed to have been imposed in order to affect the Chinese, in the hope that they will blame the British.
