British KuIangsu Protest
Is Rejected by Toxic

TOXIC, May 18 (P).-A British
protest against the landing of
japanese marines at Kulangsu
Amoys international Settlement,
was rejected today by Reno Sawada
vice minister of foreign affairs. He
saw the British Ambassador. Sir
Robert Leslie Craigie.
SaWada said the troops had been
landed merely for protection OF
japanese life and property and now
were being withdrawn gradually.
An admiralty spokesman issued a
similar statement and added that
"the situation was not sufficiently
serious to warrant the landing of a
BritiSh-American force"
The spokesman said Annoy had
been quiet until last week, when a
Chinese official was assassinated. He
acknowledged this was the only ter
roristic act which had been traced
to KulangSu, but added, IF the sit
uatlon had been left alone japanese
life and property there would have
been exposed to danger
Asked how long the last of the
landing party would remain in Ku-
langsu, the spokesman said the de-
cision rested with japanese naval
authorities on the spot.
Official circles maintained silence
on the United States rejection OF
Japanese claims for greater repre-
sentation in control of the Shanghai
International Settlement, but disap-
po1ntment was manifest and in
formed sources said Japan woulc
continue to press the claims.
With Yoshiaki Miura, consul gen.
eral for Shanghai, in Toxic for the
next week, definite program as re.
CARDS the settlement will be mapped
Discussions had been held up pend.

A congressional investigation of

asked today by Representative Hoff-
man, Republican, of Michigan.
He proposed in resolution that a
five-man committee of the House
be named to investigate the follow

"On what pretense John l.. Lewis
and the United Mine Workers Of
America assume to declare that no
man shall work in the coal mines
until he has joined the United Mine

means and in what manner he or 1t

What sums have been collected
and in what manner such sums have

John L. Lewis.

Whether John L. Lewis has re-
ceived any assurance from any Gov
ernment official that, if members of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea attempt, by force, to prevent
American citizens from going about
their daily tasks in the mining of
coal and If such attempts are op-
posed by State troops, the armed
forces of the United States will he

or whether we shall now sur
render those rights and submit to

"Who is the head of this Nation?'

b. the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, May 18-All but a
few marines of those landed last
week by the japanese in Kulangsu,
International Settlement at Annoy,
were reported today to have been
withdrawn to nearby warships after
a combined show of military and
diplomatic force by the United
States, Britain and France.
One hundred twenty-six Ameri-
can, British and French bluejackets
and marines partolled Kulangsu-a
force equal to the original strength
of the japanese landing party. The
United States cruiser Marblehead
and the destroyer Bulmer, the
French cruiser Emile Beltin and
four British warships were stand
ing by Kulangsu, an island in Annoy
Harbor.
Withdrawal Follows Ultimatum.
The japanese withdrawal was said
to have followed an ultimatum de-
livered last night by British Vice
Admiral Sir Percy Noble, conveying
the Kulangsu Municipal Councils
refusal to yield to demands for
Japanese administrative control of
the settlement.
Sir Percy was said to have in
formed the Japanese the British
would keep naval forces on the
island so long as the japanese ma
rines remained. Official circles in
Shanghai learned the admiral de-
clared, There can be no question
of modification in the Municipal
Council not in accordance with the
land regulations"
The japanese were reported to
have expressed strong dissatisfaction
with the Municipal Councils atti-
tude and TO have said that a new
protest was being prepared The
original demands and the landing
on Kulangsu came after japanese
naval commander was claimed to
have been endangered by an Incl
dent in which a Chinese was killed
japanese Demand Issue.
Treaties between China and third
powers under which the Interna-
tional Settlement is constituted au-
thorize interested powers, including
Japan, to land troops on Kulangsu
The British, French and Ameri-
cans were understood to have
adopted the view that if japanese
forces were necessary for self de-
fense' on the island then so were
their forces. There are Sc Americans
and American property in the settle
ment
The direct issue at Kulangsu was
not so much the landing of japanese
troops, but the japanese demands
which the other powers construed as
attempts to take over the settlement
administration.
1t was generally believed that if
the Japanese gained control of
kulangsu they would act to carry
out frequently reiterated demands
for greater hand in the Shanghai
International Settlement and in
foreign concessions elsewhere,
