differences have broken out between the
powers with reference to the advance
itself and to the measures that are be-
ing taken in the Yang Use Valley.
Germany's opinion regarding the steps
Great Britain has taken in the yang Use
region has been expressed through the

disapproyal of steps taken already or
contemplated, inasmuch as Germany, with
a number of other powers, is as mCch
interested as England in Keeping the
Yang Use Valley open for commerce
The Foreign Office believes that IN this
particular all the powers except england
are agreed.
The Foreign Office is confident that the
United States and Japan will side with
