London, July 29.
An authoritative explanation of Britain's policy in the Orient given to correspondents here last night indicated that Britain will- refrain from denouncing the Anglo-Japanese trade treaty of 1911 during the Anglo-Japanese negotiations on the Tientsia crisis.
The explanation indicated, however. that Britain might follow the lead of the United States following the Arita-Craigie negotiations, particularly if the Tokyo talks fail.
Washington's action, it was explained, naturally has caused British Gov-vernment circles to consider the utility of the same method for retaliation against Japan. It was pointed out, however, that Britain naturally is not inclined to prejudice the outcome of the Tokyo conversations.
