-four LEADING
NATIONS MAKE
THEIR PROTEST
United States, Great Bri-

Delivered New Strong
Verbal Warning to
Japan
BY MILES W. VAUGHN
'nifeh ppeGs Gfufy (,nrrasnnudan

nurd Press SIAN correspondent
Toxic, Feb 1-UP)-Concerted
action by the United states, Great
Britain, Italy and France was
token to-day in delivering a new
strong verbal protest to Japan
against her action in China.
United States Ambassador w.
Cameron Forbes called agan on
Foreign Minister Yoshizawa to de-
liver the American protest. de-
Scribed as couched in the most in
dignant terms.
The British and Italian am bassa-
doris took similar action. The
French ambassador apparently
followed a milder course.
The protests came after n week.
end OF frequent calls by the am
hassadors singly on Yoshizawa.
Forbes explained that the British
ard American interests in this
crisis were identical.
No threats to Japan of any kind
were intended, he emphasized, but
he admitted the protest, which was
not submitted in writing, expressed
great Indignation at Japan's ac-
tons In Shanghai.
Forbes visit to the gaimusho
foreign ofiice) came with word
from Shanghai that efforts there
to arrange an effective truce and a
neutral zone had failed. The gov
eminent understood that the Jap
anese commander had refused the
proposal of the British that troops
from British and American forces
guard the defense areas at present
held by the Japanese
Fighting was reported to have
resumed when the parleys fell
through, the Japanese using aerial
bombs.
Forbes was understood to have
made strong representations to the
government here when hoStilities
rroke out in Shanghai last Thurs
day. Official silence continued on
that subject, but Forbes was I'M
derstood to have notified the for
eign office that Japan's aggressive
rcss was endangering the interna-
tional settlement. The British and
French ambassadors were said to
have taken similar action.
The United Press was reliably
informed that Japan approves the
dispatch of British and American
forces to Shanghai, and would IA
vor the neutral zone plan there.
The move was believed to have
made the dispatch OF Japanese
army units to Shanghai unlikely.
The destroyer NumakaZc pro-
cceded from Yokosuka naval base
to Sasebo base, in southern Japan,
CT its way to Shanghai.
Yoshjzawa said the government
still considered the situation highly
dangerous. He said after meeting
the ambassadors that he had re-
quested them to instruct their con-
sul-general in Shanghai to inter-
cede for the withdrawal of the
Chinese forces to "a safe dis
lance.
az the reports of Chinese troop
movements are correct" YoshiZawa
said, both our marines and the in
ternational settlement are endan-
gered, and we must consider addi-
tional steps"
The foreign minister reiterated
that possibly japanese army forces
would have to be sent.
