The Japanese officials in China, Mr Arita is reported to have told Sir Robert in reply to his request for an early solution of various problems involving British interests, were carefully studying the matter, in order to reach prompt settlements. Sir Robert, who recently visited Shanghai for a few days during which he conferred with Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, British Ambassador to China, was understood to have intimated to Mr. Arita that he felt that an improvement was taking place in the mutual sentiments of the British and the Japanese in China.
