Britain Stands Firm On Japanese Financial Demands
LONDON, July 29. A sub-committee of two British and two Japanese representatives has been formed to consider currency and silver questions in order to facilitate the general negotiation?, says a message from Tokio.
Japan is demanding the forfeiture of Chinese silver bullion valued at over £1,000,000 held in the Tientsin banks, and also the exclusion of the Chinese currency. The British Ambassador, Sir Robert Craigie, is reported to have taken up a firm attitude to both demands. It is the first indication of British stiffening. The Japanese are intensifying the anti-British boycott at Tientsin. They urged the Chinese residents to move out from the Concession and organised further street demonstrations. Peking also reports a renewed flar-ing-up of anti-British feeling. The city is plastered with insulting posters.
