THREAT IMPLIED

Sir Hughe, the British ambas-
sador to China, was wounded by
machine-gun fire from a Japanese
plane while he was motoring from
Marking to Shanghai.
The British action constitutes an
implied threat to sever diplomatic
relations with Japan since if the
Nipponese reply is considered un-
satisfactory Craigie probably will
be directed to continue to with
hold presentation of his creden,
tials.
1t was learned, however that
Britain is extremely reluctant to
sever all diplomatic relations with
the Land of the Rising Sun, and
would prefer to leave its embassy
staff in Tokyo under the British
charge d'affaires.
Craigie will not actually be re-
called unless Britain finds it i'm
possible to obtain any sort of salts
factory settlement of the incident
involving Sir Hughe.
COULD REMAIN
Furthermore, it was pointed out,
even should Craigie be recalled, it
still would be possible for the Brit
ish charge d'affaires to remain in
Tokyo.
The decision to withhold
Craigie's credentials was reached
at recent meeting Of British cabi-
net ministers, but the instructions
were held back a few days in the
hope a Japanese reply would be
forthcoming.
Reports from Tokyo that the
japanese are planning to evade
all responsibility for the attack on
Sir Hughe caused the British to
Stiffen their attitude.
It is believed Craigie informed
Japanese Foreign Minister Koki
Hirota during his courtesy call
today that he would be unable to
present his credentials formally
until Japan's reply reaches Lon
don.
