tween Viseount Halifax. foreign
secretary. and Quo Tsi-Chi, the
Chinese ambassador.
Henderson, explaining his own
question, said:
With Japan a member of the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES anti
comintern' alliance, / believe the
new collective security system
must ultimately include the far
east. as well as Europe, to be
effective.
Far from excluding Japan
from such an arrangement or
proposing to encircle Japan.

cooperation of a non-aggres-
sive Japan in the peace bloc.

Diplomats. questioned on Hen
derson's suggestion, said that If
current British-French negotia-
tons TO include Russia in the
peace front" represented the sec
ond stage of anti-aggression plans,
extension of the system to en-
brace China and other presumptive
victims of aggression in Asa
would represent a rather remote
third stage.
clear that considerable differ
ences still separate Britain
and Russia in their peace
front negotiations.
Britain has suggested that Rus
STA directly guarantee support OF
Poland and Rumania against ag-
gressors. without any correspond
ing pledge by any country TO aid
Russia. Russia wants a declara-
ton of Britain's willingness 10 en-
ter an alliance with Russia-ons
that would work both ways. Lack
ing such a two-way pledge, Rus
SLAMS fear situation in which
Russia might be "enticed' into a
war with Germany exhausting
both Soviet and Nazi strength, to
Britain's benefit.
As regards reports that Russia
and Britain already had reached
agreement. or that one was inn
minent. the situation was cleared
somewhat by a statement which
Ivan Msisky. Russian ambassador
to Britain. made at Stockholm last
night on his way to Russia to sc'
as consultant In negotiations:
II am not taking any con-
crete proposals by the British
government. l have been re-
called home TO give josef
Stain n picture of feeling in
