POINTED EXPRESSIONS OF REGRET
THAT NOTE DID NOT COME EARLIER (Received 18th January, 9.0 a.m.) WASHINGTON. 17th January. The British Note to Japan is welcomed in congressional circles here, but there have been some rather pointed expressions of regret that the Briitsh action came only after some apparent setbacks in Mr Chamberlain’s European appeasement programme Senator Pittman said: “I consider the action of Britain encouraging, but it is only the second time in seven years that Britain or any of the Nine-Pow’er Pact signatories have supported Ameri- ! can attempts to maintain peace and obedience to the treaty. It is unfortunate that Britain did not support our • protest when Japan invaded Manchuria.”
