TOXIC NOTE FAILS.
TO SATISFY BRITAIN
htimation Made to Japan
Final Reply Should
Be Expedited.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
LONDON. September Great
Britains dissatisfaction with a Jap
anese interim" reply to her protest
against the airplane attack on the
British Ambassador to China resulted
today in intimations to Japan that
final reply should not be long de-
layed"
1t was no secret that an unfavorable
impression was created here by Japan's
n-committal note, sidestepping the
British charge that a japanese war;
plane machine gunned Sir Hughe
Knatchbull- -Hugessen while he was
motoring from Nanking toward
Shanghai.
Text Of Interim" Reply.
The text Of the Japanese foreign
minister's interim" reply follows:
THE japanese government, on re-
ceiving news Of the event in question,
took grave view of the incident and
hastened to convey expressions of
profound sympathy to his britannia
maJesty's government and to Sir
Hughe through myself and the AM
baSsadors to the Court of st. James's
and to China, respectively, and, at
the same time, they sent urgent in
structions to authorities on the spot
to investigate the case thoroughly.
Although the results of these in
vestigations have so far failed to pro-
duce any evidence to establish the
shooting was done by japanese air
plane, the Japanese government is
taking measures for further investi-
cations by authorities on the spot in
order to spare no efforts to ascertain
the facts of the case.
In these circumstances it is still
impossible to determine whether or
not responsibility for the incident
rests with Japan. Nevertheless, in
view of the traditional ties of friend
ship which bind Japan and Great
Britain, the japanese government ex-
presses their profound regret that Sir
Hughe should have met with such
misfortune incidental to hostilities
that actually were in progress in the
region Of Taitsang that particular
day.
Take Fullest Precaution.
in this connection, I wish to as
sure your excellency that Japanese
forces always take the fullest precau-
tions against causing injuries to nom
combatants, and it certainly was very
far from the desire of the japanese
government that such an unfortunate
event should ever occur in the future
