TOKIO CONFERENCE
JAPANESE DEMANDS DO NOT PXCEED SCOPE OI CONFERENCE FIRM ATTITUDE MAINTAINED b.P.A.—By Electric Telegraph— Copyright] (Received 21st August, 12.50 p.m.) TOKIO. 20th August. A Foreign Office statement recalling the issues of the Anglo-Japanese conference reiterates that the Japanese demands do not exceed the scope of the conference, for which reason the banning of currency, silver and other questions because they are not local at Tientsin is not justified. Britain at the outset of the conference did not intend to exclude economic questions. She now - contradictorily contends that they should be solved in relation to the ultimate settlement of the Chino-Japanese dispute. Japan does not comprehend how the discussion of the Nine-Power Treaty Is useful in settling the Tientsin issues and will never admit the intervention of a third power, which would only lead to delaj-s and complications.
