(Continued from Page D chief source of worry. There was a general belief that Japan would satisfy Great Britain, in the end, that the attack was regrettable accident. But the Chinese treaty with Great Britain. whom Japan sees as potential enemy, was scn1e- thing else.
 The belief seems to be fixed here that this treaty is not merely norl- aggression treaty but contains secret clauses that could be aimed only at Japan-for Russian aid in arming China if nothing else.
 It was understood that the foreign office in view of the treaty was that for Russia and China to negotiate a mere non-aggression past would be absurd.
 Regrets Chinese Action Publicly, the view Is taken that 1t is to be regretted that China has signed q treaty calculated-in Jap anese minds-to make China an "underling" of Russia. The hand of the communist international, regard ed as a disturber of world peace, al- SO is seen. The hope is expressed that China will think better of her course and join Japan in an effort to establish peace in East Asia.
 Because of preoccupation in all circles with the Chinese Russian complication, the British note of emphatic protest" stiff as 1t was, received secondary attention.
 The view of authoritative quarters was that Japan's reply must be post poned until a joint British Japanese investigation of the attack on the British ambassador has been corn- pleted.
 Another Note Coming
 A much longer note, going more thoroughly into all aspects of the diplomatic problem at Shanghai, was expected here. There seemed to be feeling that Great Britain had shot but a parliamentary gun in her first note and that Japan must reply cautiously, seeking to find the real extent of Britain's anger-liot only over the attack on the ainbass- ador but as regards the whole Chi- nese problem.
 A careful check of local newspa. pers shows that the note was fully published, despite its blunt tone. Newspaper editorials, discussing 1t, express regret that the evidence tends to show that 1t really was Japanese plane that machine gunned the ambassador. They express sor- row that the ambassador was wounded but agree In the convic- ton that the attack was not in- tetional.
 A promised formal statement on the third formal complication-the Japanese blockade of the China coast-had not appeared.
