TOXIC, June 16.-The American
charge d'af1aires in Toxic, Eugene
Dooman, discussed the British -Japa-
nese controversy at Tientsin In a call
at the foreign Office today, and Gov
ernment circles believed this might
be a preliminary step toward medi-
alton efforts by the United States.
Mr.. Dooman, however, said he
took up the Tientsin situation "un-
ofdcially," since he had received no
Instructions from Washington, and
declared he had "at present" taken
no steps toward mediation.
Mr.. Dooman spent an hour with
Seijiro Yoshizawa, head of the
American section of the foreign
Office.
(Oficials at Washington last
night said Mr.. Dooman had ex-
pressed the concern Of the Amer
ican Government over the Tien-
tsin blockade0

Gated that Japans terms for settle

The cabinet, Domei Japanese
news agency announced, gave full
approval to the stand taken at
Tientsin by North China army au-
thorities.
The Tientsin officials are acting
more or less independently of the
Toxic government, and Lieut.. Gen.
Seishiro Itagaki, war minister, sum-
moned four of his cabinet colleagues
(the premier, navy, foreign and
finance ministers) to be advised of
the Tientsin decision.
Itagaki and Prince Gen. Kotochito
Kanin, chief of the general staff, re-
ported to the Emperor on the situa-
ton at Tientsin since japanese on
Wednesday established the blockade
OF the British and French conces-
sions.
Demands upon the British (the
French appear to be involved chiefly
as colleagues of the British were
said now to be:
Reorganization of the conces-
sion government to give greater
authority to the Japanese -spon-
sored Tientsin government.
Financial "co-operation" by
British banks to facilitate cir
culation of japanese currency.
Sweeping pledges of future
cooperation with Japanese au-
thorities."

Anxiety for Interests
Felt by Government
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Japanese blockade at Tien-
tsin has evoked an expression Of
concern from the United States.
Ofncials said last night that Eu-
gene II. Dooman, American Charge
d'Anaires at Toxic, told the Japa-
nese foreign Office this Government
was concerned over the possible ef-
feet Of the blockade on American
interests.
The American Consulate General
in Tientsin is located inside the
British concession, which is under
blockade.
Information Exchanged.
Secretary of State Hull told re-
porters yesterday that exchanges
OF information are going on be-
tween the United States, Great
Britain and France, but that there
was no plan for the United States
to participate in joint action with
the other two nations.
Government legal experts here
expressed the opinion that Japan's
blockade at Tientsin was without
any basis in international law.
They explained that the foregn con-
cessions at Tientsin, Shanghai,
Kulangsu and other ports had been
established as a result of negotia-
tions between China and foreign
governments.
They said that, in effect, the
foreign concessions were neutral
property and the blockade was as
illegal as one enforced against q
neutral power in a war.
Dispute Still Local.
Secretary Hull intimated the dis
pute at Tientsin had not yet passed
beyond the bounds of a local prob
lem. He said the State Department,
with regard to Tientsin, was follow
ing its general policy, which is for
American diplomats on the spot to
compose and adjust as many local
problems as possible by acting to-
gether with diplomats of other
nations involved.
In the present case, he said, there
are exchanges of information and
views going on between Consul
General John K. Caldwell at Tient-
sin, the American Embassy in
Toxic and the State Department
here.
