Swotow Consul Reports
All Americans Safe

By the Associated Press.
Whitney Young, consul at Swatow,
informed the State Department to-
day that all Americans there were
safe.
Forty-eight Americans, including
four children, live in Swatow. en-
gagged mostly in missionary work.
Mr.. Young reported the occupation
of the city was accompanied by brief
street fighting.
John K. Caldwell, consul general
at Tientsin, cabled that the food
situation there was a little better,
but that the meat supply was only
one-flfth of normal and the vege-
table supply two-thirds of normal
in the British concession. Food sup
plies in the French concession were
satisfactory. Japanese have block

uation, however, was deteriorating.
Lack Green Vegetables.
Only 10 per cent of the normal
meat supply was received today and
only one-third OF the fresh vege-
tables. Tables throughout the for
eign areas lacked the greens par
ticularly wanted because Of the heat.
Rice, beans and other staples were
the foreigners fare.
A. japanese Embassy spokesman
blamed the British for broadening
the Tentsin dispute, precipitated
by the British refusal to hand over
four Chinese wanted by japanese
on charges Of assassinating Tent-
sin customs official. He charged that
the British spread propaganda to
the effect that all third-power inter-
ests in China were involved In the
Tientsin issues.
The establishment Of . new order
in East ASIA" he said, docs not
necessarily mean the rights and in
terests Of third powers will be driven
out Of China" He indicated the
British may be victims Of special
discriminatory treatment, stating
that while in principle Japan would
treat all foreigners alike, some jap
anese individuals may act In a man
ner discriminatory to the British be-
cause they are aiding Chang Kai-
shek."
Caldwell Awaits Reply.
British authorities meanwhile took
steps to prevent any incident which
might aggravate the taut situation
resulting from the blockade. Neither
side appeared willing to yield in the
dispute, which started with British
refusal to surrender to Japanese four
Chinese accused of terrorism.

Hal River, where Japanese started
imposing stricter control. An addi-
tional company Of British soldiers
was brought from Peiping to rein

Regiment, bringing the British mill
tary strength to about 800 men.
United States Consul General
John K. Caldwell said that so far
he had received no reply to protest
he handed Japanese yesterday. It
came from the American Chamber
Of Commerce here and complained
against blockade restrictions.
This was the third similar repre-
sentation by Mr.. Caldwell, one hav-
ing been made last year and a sec
ond earlier in the present blockade.
He said formal replies are not ex-
pected in such cases, but that an
informal answer might be sought.

Britain and Russia
Still DeadIocked in
Pact Negotiations
Formal Soviet Reply
Given British and
French ENJOYS
~ the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, June 22.-Soviet Rus
sta tonight delivered her formal
reply to the latest British French
proposals for a mutual assistance
pact. There was no indication what
it contained. Yesterday, however,
a foreign Office bulletin said "the
new British-French proposals do
not represent any improvement over
the previous proposals"
The impression grew that Mr..
Strang's mission to Moscow had
failed. This, however, was not neces-
sarily taken to mean that the long
standing negotiations to bring Rus
sia into the French-British front
had collapsed entirely.
Strang's Aide Leaves.
Some experienced observers be-
heved that the latest Soviet rebuff
meant that a new British French
overture might yet win favor IN
Moscow-providing that it did not
come from the governments headed
by Prime Minister Chamberlain and
Premier Daladier. Soviet suspicion
of British intentions often have been
directed primarily against Mr..
Chamberlain, former exponent of an
appeasement policy.
Mr.. Strang's assistant, Harry
Roberts, returned to London this
morning. MIR. Strang's departure
had not been set.
Compromise Sought.
The latest BritiSh-French pro-
posals sought to meet by compromise
Soviet insistence that the Baltic
states of Finland, Estonia and Lat
via be given direct, triple guarantees
of assistance against attack whether
they want them or not.
Both the statement and the
manner in which it was made pub.
lie struck some observers as calcu-
lated to produce the impression
there is no use going ahead without
changes of Government in Great
Britain and France.

London Still Hopeful
For Soviet Alliance
By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,
Foreign Correspondent Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, June 22.-Despite what
Is described here as the "unaccom-
modating" attitude of the Russians,
it is still believed by most people in
London that negotiations for a de-
fensive alliance between Great Brit
ain, Russia and France will be con-
cluded in the near future.
1t is perfectly clear, at the same
time, that there is going to be some
hard bargaining before any agree
ment is reached and that the Rus
slams, for their part, are determined
to make the British 60 much farther
toward meeting the Russian de-
mands than they have agreed to do
to date.
Confusion in Three Capitals.
There was great deal of con-
fusion last night in Paris, London
and Moscow as the three different
governments all put out contradic-
tory stories of what was going on.
The British had been saying all day
long that their special envoy in
Moscow, William Strang, was pre-
senting a new formula to Premier
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslaf M.
Molotod which would finally satisfy
the Russians. It was even limited
around Whitehall and Downing
Street that the negotiations might
be concluded within a few days.
Last night, after Mr.. Strang and
the French and British Ambassa-
dors had talked to Molotof for two
solid hours, the French announced
that agreement had been reached
on several points. They admitted
that agreement had not been
reached on the question of guaran-
tees to the Baltic states, but indi-
Gated that agreement might be ex-
pected on this point in the near
future.
Falsifying Apparent.
Then, at o'clock in the morning
Tass, Soviet official news agency,
threw cold water on the proceedings
by announcing the Russian opinion
that the New glo-French pro-
posals do not show any progress
compared with the previous pro-
posals."
Somebody seems to have been
falsifying about the progress of the
talks and there is some reason to
believe that everybody has been
doing so. All three governments
are very evidently trying to force
one another's hands by feeding
nonsense to the general public.
Those who have had to follow the
negotiations since they began "seri-
ously" in mid-April wish the Rus
slams, British and French would all
stop their childs play and either
conclude a pact or forget about it.
In any event, much of the so-called
moral effect of the pact has already
been dissipated.
