London, June 28.
Urgent instructions had been sent to Sir Robert Craigie (the British Ambassador in Tokyo) to press for an early reply to the British protest with regard to the death of R. M. Tinkler, employee of the China Printing and Finishing Company in Shanghai, it was stated in the House of Commons today by Mr. R. A. Butler, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
He was asked by Mr. Philip Noel-Baker, Labour member for Derby, if the Government would consider effective measures to stop Japanese trade in British territory.
Mr. Butler, however, suggested awaiting for a reply in this particular case and said that the whole of the facts of this deplorable affair haa been presented to the Japanese Government.—Reuter.
