London, June 27.
In the House of Commons yesterday, Mr.' Robert Harry Morgan, National Conservative member for the Stourbridge division of Worcestershire, asked whether a British pri test had been sent to Japan against the bombing of the district in Chungking set apart for non-combatants.
Mr. R. A. Butler, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. in his reply, presumed that Mr. Morgan referred to the south bank of the Yangtze river, against which the Japanese Government last year stated they would not carry out attacks.
During the air attack on June 15. at least four bombs fell in this "safety zone," but no information had been received of any casualties, Mr, Butler revealed.
"Mr. Eden (British Foreign Secretary) is satisfied that the British Government's attitude towards the indiscriminate bombing of civilian populations elsewhere is already sufficiently well known to the Japanese." he added.—Reuter.
