In accordance with the basic terms of the Tientsin Agreement, signed in Tokyo, about ten Japanese gendarmes will be stationed in the British Concession, with accommodation in the compound of the residence of the Japanese Consul-Generel in Victoria Road, Reuter learns from authoritative quarters.
At the same time, Major Ohta, Head of the Japanese gendarmerie in Tientsin, is being appointed as Liaison Officer, with an ofice placed at his disposal in the police Headquarters of the British Municipal Council.
Major Ohta's duties will be to maintain contact between the British and Japanese police authorities, while the purpose of the gendarmes assigned to the British area, is only for a body of men to be available at a moment's notice, should the police of the British Municipal Council desire to conduct raids on suspected terrorists in the presence of Japanese officers.
As was previously the case, Japanese police are not authorized to conduct raids in the British area independently of the British authorities, and would merely act as observers. A similar arrangement 4s being brought into effect in the French Concession.—Reuter.
