JAPANESE AT TIENTSIN PROTEST PROM BRITAIN REPLY BEFORE CABINET (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, March 13. The British Consul-General at Tientsin has received a reply from the local Japanese authorities in reference to the protests concerning the erection of live wire entangle--mentis round the British concession. The reply is now under consideration by the British Government. It is reported that the Japanese reply states that the measures were taken in self-defence and the necessity for such steps would cease if the Concession authorities co-operated effectively in preserving peace. The reply added that the insincerity of the foreign authorities was enabling the anti-Japanese elements to use the Concessions for a baso. Measures, therefore, were designed to enable the Japanese, if necessary, to prevent the communication between the antiJapanese elements in the Concession and those outside.
