London, Sept. 21.
The British protest to Japan regarding the wounding of Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen, H. M. Ambassador to China, is likely to be one of the first subjects to be discussed between the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, and Mr. Antony Eden when the Foreign Secretary returns from Geneva.
More than three weeks have elapsed since the protest was sent, and it 1s pointed out that both Mr. Chamber-in and Mr. Eden may consider the time has come to ask Japan to ex-podite her final reply.
The Japanese interim answer is not regarded as satisfactory, and a iurther request by Britain will probably be frankly worded.
The British Government, it is stated, is not likely to be satisfied with less than the demands already made—an apology, punishment of the offenders and an assurance against further attacks—Reuter.
