POSITION IN CHINA
(Rec. 8.30 p.m.) RUGBY, May 14. Answering a question in the House of Commons with regard to Japanese discrimination against British interests in China, the Foreign Secretary, MiAnthony Eden, after recalling the unsatisfactory outcome of representations addressed to Japan, added that he had instructed Sir Robert Craigie, British Ambassador to Japan, to reply to Japanese complaints of economic restrictions in British territories by saying that, while our main object is to conserve supplies for our war effort and to prevent these supplies from reaching our enemies, we are naturally influenced in deciding our economic policy by Japan's attitude towards our interests in China.
