London, June 22.
No reply has yet been received from Tokyo to Britain's enquiries as to the Japanese Government's attitude towards the Tientsin blockade, Reuter learned today from authoritative sources.
Efforts, it is understood, are being made to get the negotiations concern-the blockade transferred from Tie tsin to Tokyo.
At the same time, Reuter unde: stands that a list of various methods of bringing economic pressure to bear upon Japan if no solution can be achieved has already been drawn up.
A meeting of the Foreign Affai Committee of the Conservative Party, at which Mr. Adrian Moreing, Conservative member for Preston, is expected to initiate a discussion on Tientsin, will it is anticipated, consider sending a deputation to the Prime Minister.
The feeling is undoubtedly gaining strength among members of the House of Commons of all shades of political opinion that delay in taking firm action only encourages the more violent section of the Japanese arm: and is calculated to make ultimate satisfaction more difficult, if not actually to lead to worse aggression elsewhere.—Reuter.
