Tokyo, June 16.
Rumours that Japanese Gove ment authorities here did not see to with Japanese officials Tientsin regarding the "isolation" measures taken against the British and French Concessions there were denied by a Foreign Office spokes man today.
Reports of a discrepancy or a divergence in the views of the Japanese authorities in Tientsin and those the spokesman said, had culated abroad.
The steps taken by the Japanese authorities in the North China port, he continued, were measures which they considered appropriate to maintain peace and order in Tientsin. Further developments in the situation were now being awaited, he said.
Sir Robert L. Craigie, British Ambassador, called on Mr. Hachiro Arita, Foreign Minister, on Wednesday to obtain an elucidation of the statement issued by the Japanese military authorities in Tientsin, the Foreign Office spokesman declared.
