London, July 27.
Sir Archibald ihe Chamberlain, the Prime Minister.
Winding up the debate on Foreign Affairs in the House of Commons yesterday, Mr. R. A. Butler, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, referred to questions raised in the House regarding an alleged wool monopoly in North China, the Peiping-Mukden Railway, British shipping and other matters.
All these subjects, Mr. Butler declared, would be discussed in the course of a specially arranged conversation between Sir Robert Craigie, British Ambassador in! Tokyo, and General Kazushige Ugaki, Japanese Foreign Minister.
"We shall judge the sincerity of the Japanese assurances in these matters by the success which, we trust, will attend this important conversation," Mr. Butler added.
The British Government, Mr. Butler declared, anticipated that the Japanese Government could fairly be expected to give immediate satisfaction to British and third party interests concerned in such questions.
