Tokyo, July 1 The Japanese press continues to be mot optimistic over the forthcoming Tientsin situation, stressing that the success or the failure of the Tokyo Anglo-Japanese conference on the negotiations will depend on whether Eritain is willing to reconsider its "pro-Chiang Kai-shek" policy.
The "Asahi" considers Britain's role as that of "a defendant and a disturber of peace and order in Tientsin."
It deduces that if Britain agrees to ce-operate with Japan in maintaining peace and order in Tientsin, and in "furthering China's economic welfare" it would entail the sharing of "Japanibihties in occupied : Hochi" declares that the Japanese representatives "must stick to the policy already agreed upon by the Government and the Japanese authorities in Tientsin," as the yielding of a single step will mean "an important hitch in the holy task of reconstructing East Asia."
The "Yomiuri" asserts that Japan, in the conference, will persist in demanding Britain's future ce-operation in constructive work in military, economic and political fields.—Reuter.
