NORTH CHINA
SMUGGLING OPERATIONS QUESTIONS IN COMMONS [ Brirish Official Wirdess. ] RUGBY, May 27. Mr. R. A. Eden answered a number of questions in the House of Commons on smuggling in Northern China. The Foreign Secretary, referring to suggestions for improving the position put forward in the questions, said that he thought the best means of checking smuggling would be restoration to the Chinese preventive agencies of the normal means of exercising their authority. So far as he was aware no other Government, apart from the Chinese, British and United States Governments, had made representations on this subject at Tokio, but the British Ambassador had kept in close touch with the representatives of the other interested Powers. Mr. Eden added that the attention of the Japanese Government had been called to the detriment caused to legitimate Japanese interests in general by the incidence of the wholesale smuggling in North China.
