Tokyo, Sept. 1 At a conference with foreign correspondents set for 3.30 p.m. to-morrow, the Foreign Minister, Mr. Koki Hirota, is expected to clarify the Sino-Japanese situation, with special emphasis on what China must do to end the punishment she is receiving from Japan. He is also expected to reveal something of Japan's attitude.
The British note of protest over the shooting of the British Ambassador to China, Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, may be answered when the investigation on the spot has been completed.
Some clarifications may undoubtedly be presented to the Diet when the government will request support and authority to control the consumption of important products, control of} imports, industrial output as well as shipping. The government will probably also request an emergency appropriation which is expected to exceed two billion yen.—United Press.
