Serious Situation


 London, June 16-(UP)-If Japan,s new demands against Britain in China persist, an extremely serious situation will arise and the British government twill have to consider what immediate, active steps it can take to protect British interests in China," a semi-oficial statement said today.
 The statement said British circles cannot but take the most serious view of the further demands which have been made and which raise the widest issues, affecting the rights of all those powers which have treaty rights in China"
 Referring to recent threatening ut terances of the Japanese spokesman in Tientsin, the statement conti- nued: Tt is clear from these statements that the surrender of the four ac- cused (Chinese terrorist suSpects) can no longer be regarded as the reason for the imposition of meas ures against the British concession. 1"

 Thanks for the escort. Goodbye and good luck"
 Their majesties remained together on the bridge long after the ship had sailed. Then they had light dinner. The queen retired early, and the king remained for a while chat ting with members of the entour- age.
 The ship was speeding at 24 knots, and a cool breeze swept shoreward from the sea. A light sea was run ming today and the weather was mild.
 There was crew of 600 on the ship.
 Thought Is a Bomb V Before sailing, the king and queen had received the press corps ac- companying the tour, and it was dis Closed that the king had been pay ing close attention to newspaper dis patches. The Marquess of Donegal, who had reported the tour for a London newspaper, had carried along a portable radio and before the royal tour extended into the United States, he had mailed ahead Several spare batteries. Secret serv- ice operatives had opened the pack age and torn one of the batteries apart to inspect it. An item about that got into the newspapers. - Lord Donegal said that at the press conference, the king had asked him if the story was true. Informed that it was, the king asked: \ "What did they think it was?" '. "They thought it was a bomb, I guess" Lord Donegal said he re- piled.
 ''They certainly are careful" the King remarked.

 by the public and what part and how much should be borne by pri- vate individuals and institutions.
 'sIn the past few years. due to economic conditions and the general tendency to shift as many responsi- bilities as possible to the state, cities and town, a great many aged people have been sent by relatives and town officials to state institutions. These persons formerly were cared for by their own people and their own communities"
 The first step toward accomplish ing the governors proposals will be taken when he appoints a five-man commission to study conditions in all types of state institutions. The commission was authorized by the legislature but the governor has not yet selected the personnel. Senator Downes Ready
 Norwich, Conn, June IS (UP) State Senator Joseph B. Downes, Democratic leader said today "the facts will be brought out at the proper time to subStantiate his charges that conditions at Norwich State Hospital for the Insane stink to high heaven
 Downes was expected to be among the first witnesses called by a spe- cial three-man commission named by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin to investigate the senator's charges.
 The governor named Supreme Court Justice Allyn L. Brown, Nor- wich, to head the commission. Two other members were expected to be named soon, possibly today. T have absolute confidence in Governor Baldwin and in his com- mission,' Senator Downes, local reg istrar of voters, said
 More Judges
 Hartford, Conn, June 16 (U. Ex-Governor Baldwin today named Edward M. Rosenthal, Republican, to succeed Denis T. O,Brien, Jr., Democrat, as judge of the Meriden city and police court.
 He also announced reappointment of Wilbur F. Davis, Republican, as associated judge of the same court. The governor has still to name judges of the Waterbury, Stamford, and Newington minor courts.

milk into the British concession.
 British authorities feared that there might be a decisive incident tomorrow when Japanese planned a mass parade through the British concession of Japanese residents, ostensibly to honor Japanese soldiers killed in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, and whose remains lie in the con- cession cemetery.
 It was understood that British au- thorities were considering the ad- visibility of defying the Japanese and banning the parade.
 Originally, the Japanese intended to hold the parade yesterday. But when rising tempers brought British and Japanese soldiers face to face at the concession gates, ready for 8 fight, the parade was postponed.

 JOINS PROTEST

NCOIltl1uGQ 1IUiIl rage l
 The American charge d'affaires in Tokyo, Eugene Dooman, already has reminded Japan, upon instructions from Hull, that this government has vital interests in Tientsin. The concession there belongs to the Brit ish and French, but some 400 Amer ican nationals conduct business in it.
 Hull said at his press conference yesterday that he had received no reports to indicate the extent Amer jeans at Tientsin are affected. Japa- nese officials have publicly declared that the blockade was directed at the British only.
 Hull and other officials, however. contend that such actions affect all foreign nationals in China sooner or later.
 Record Against Japan
 The state department has been compiling the record against Japan for months. One of the principal considerations upon which President Roosevelt accepted Japan's apologies and separations for the sinking of the U. s. gunboat Janay months ago was categorical promise by Japan that Americans thereafter would not be molested.
 This government since then has several times reminded Japan of that assurance, and on one or two occasions has questioned the good faith of Japan in making the prom iSe.
 Officials of the British embassy here and the state department have conferred on the Far Eastern situa- tion. Hull said they were exchanging basic, factual information.

!, leased after having been held for two days for photographing scenes of the blockade.
 The Japanese maintained their blockade of Kulangsu, the foreign area of Annoy down the coast. A Hankow dispatch said that, in- tensifying their long standing block ade of foreign shipping in the Yang tze river, the Japanese refused to permit communication between the shore and the pontoon of the Brit ish Buterfield and Swires firm. One of the company's ships is moored to the pontoon.
 As the British government ill Lon- don considered the possibility of re- prisals against the Japanese, it was announced at Honk Kong that Vice Admiral Sir Percy Noble, British navy commander in chief in China, and Major General Arthur E. Gras- sett, army commander in chief planned to leave for Singapore at
 once in the Cruiser Kent to joul British and French navy chieftains now conferring there on Far East ern defense against Japan. French Rushing Work The French were rushing work on their new Cam Ranh naval base on the Indo-C China coast, "The French Singapore"
 For the moment the blockade sit- uation here was at stalemate Neither French British or Japanese authorities saw any hope for a so- lution and made it known that they would sit tight.
 Most Britons who had lived i1l Tientsin proper moved into the British concession, preparing for a long siege.
 Edgar c. Jamieson, British con- sul general, laid the official basis fol Britain's formal protest against the blockade by demanding of the Japa- nese consulate general: 1. That Japan stop searching British subjects, including uniformed soldiers, who sought to leave or en- ter the concession.
 2. That Japan stop searching British ships which sought to move up that Hai river to the British water front.
 Jamieson said. that the Japanese in their blockade, were discriminate ing against British subjects as com. pared with other foreigners.

 Nazi Bund Death Mystery New York, June 16-(UP)-Wil- liam B. Herlands, commissioner of investigation, demanded today all the facts" of the death and crema- ton 8 month ago of Richard J Mettin, national treasurer of the pro-Nazi German-American Bund. Herlands said he would make his own inquiry into the death as one phase of an investigation into the bund's city sales tax payments. Met tin was under subpoena for queS- tioning concerning bund taxes at the time of his death.
 The death was attributed to septi- cemia, originating in facial gland. Mettin was treasurer of the bund's newspaper and an associate of Fritz Kuhn, bund "fuehrer," who is at liberty on $5,000 bond on charges of grand larceny and forgery filed May 25. Kuhn was charged with em- bezzlement of $14,000 of bund funds. Gun Fight With Spies Toulon, France, June 16-(UP)- Gendarmes captured four spy sus- poets inside the Navy arsenal early today after a gun battle in which ] one suspect was wounded. Authorities believed that the sus- poets had tried to steal prototype or specimen of a secret automatic rifle from the arsenal, part of the great French Mediterranean navy base.
 It was reported that the suspects were Frenchmen but their identity was kept secret while authorities sought to find what foreign power, if any, they represented.
