Shanghai 
Japanese circles speculated today over a possible change 
in British policy in the Orient. The speculation started 
with the arrival in Shanghai of the British Ambassador to 
China, Archibald Clark-Kerr. Clark-Kerr has just completed 
O 
cl 
tour of the Chinese 
provinces . 
Damage to British trade and shipping in China as a result of 
Japanese military operations has put an increasing strain 
on Anglo J panese relations. The question of these relations 
caused a flare in the House of Commons recently. A member 
of the House of Lords suggested the imposition of trade re- 
strictions to stop Japanese inroads on British interests in 
China. The Japanese also are aware that Britain is losing 
patience with the continuance of hostilities which keep con- 
ditions in China in a state of chaos. Britain has given 
Japan to understand that London would like to see the Japanese 
end their military operations with the capture of Hankow and 
then make some attempt to restoring normal conditions. The 
Japanese on their side have made it clear that they do n. t 
intend to call off their armies until they have crushed the 
government of General Chiang Kai Shek. The Japanese point 
out that they could not hope to pacify China while the regime 
of General Chiang remained to harass the Japanese controlled 
governments in north and central China. The opinion among 
Japanese leaders in China is that Britain will seek to stay 
on good terms with General Chiang Eai Shek and negotiate with 
the Japanese on safeguards for British enterprises.
