RESTRICTIONS IN CHINA
CONTROL BY JAPANESE QUESTIONS IN COMMONS TARIFF AND CENSORSHIP (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Feb. 4, 3 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 3. Answering a question in the House of Commons on the new Pekin tariff policy, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, said that full particulars of the new tariff had not yet been received in London and it was not clear to what extent it would adversely affect British trade. With reference to the claim of Japanese authorities to censor messages from Britain to British newspapers in Shanghai, Mr. Eden said he was not aware that any such telegrams were being censored. However, the British Consul-General at Shanghai had protested against the unreasonable censorship of two press telegrams from Shanghai. A message from Canton states that rumours of an imminent Japanese invasion of South China, prompted a declaration of martial law. British and other foreigners have moved into the foreign concessions on Shameen Island.
