Chamberlain Hope For Settlement
 Far East Dispute

UNDATED, June 26 (P-Pre- mier Chamberlain, speaking be- fore the House of Commons, af- ter British charges of a new stripping incident at Tientsin, de clared that he had some reason to hope" that discussions with Tokyo would lead to a settle ment of the far eastern dispute with Japan. Because he held this hope he said he didn't want to make any statement which might prejudice the prospects" of a satisfactory settlement of the crisis in China.
 Chamberlain spoke after the foreign affairs committee and the cabinet discussed the far eastern situation and highlighted the case of the British subject and his wife who said they were fore ed by Japanese sentries to un- dress at the entrance to the for eign area al Tientsin, now in its 18th day of blockade.
 The British consul, Major Her bert at Tientsin announced that a Briton, D. A. Finlay was fore ed strip naked and his wife to undress down to her girdle be- fore a Japanese sentry, but the Japanese spokesman at Tientsin said that Japan would not in- vestigate the case because the principle of such case couldn't happen"
 The Finlays are employed in the International Country Club in Japanese controlled territory.
