Tokyo, May 3.
On the basis of an inquiry at Tientsin, the Foreign Office spokesman at today's press conference denied the American complaint that the Japanese blockade of the foreign concessions there had recently been intensified.
He admitted that two or three cases of trouble recently occurred between American residents and the Japanese authorities, but they were all unimportant ones.
A typical case, the spokesman said, related to an American lady who got into trouble with a Japanese sentry because she was "too dignified" to leave her car when the sentry asked her to do so to let him inspect it. The matter, he added, had later been settled amicably, with an apology personally offered by the lady to King Haakon Said In sweden Berne, May 2.
