Tokyo, June 27.
In the first preliminary move towards possible Anglo-Japanese disc sions for a readjustment of the relations between the two empires, Sir Robert Leslie Craigie, British, Ambassador to Japan, today conferred for 1% hours with Gen. Kazushige Ugaki, Foreign Minister, at the latter's offices at. Kasumigaseki.
While the nature of their discussions was not officially divulged, usually well-informed circles tonight professed to have the knowledge that a "free and frank" exchange of views on outstanding questions between Japan and Great Britain had taken place.
These circles, however, stressed the preparatory nature of the conversations, which, they claimed would not enter a constructive stage until the standpoints of both Governments on various problems had been fully presented.
