London, Japan's reply to the British Note on the Ladybird incident was received in London to-day.
The Government will publish the document, which is 1,200 words in length, after discussing it.
It is learned that the statement issued in Tokyo last night by the Japanese Army authorities, giving their version of the Wuhu incident, is apparently quite distinct from the Note received in London to-day.
It is understood that the Japanese army's interpretation of the incident is one which the British Government is not prepared to accept.—Reuter.
