Suggestion Met Cool Response In Brit. Circles

LONDON, July 21-—A German suggestion that Great Britain press Poland for settlement of the Dan- zig problem met a cool re- sponse tonight in official quarters but caused fears of a new “Munich” among op- ponents of an appeasement iicy.

A Government spokesman said Britain had made it clear that any decision af- fecting the status of Danzig rests with Poland and that there has been no change in this policy.

He insisted Britain had ap-

proached neither Poland nor Ger- many regarding settlement of the issue, nor has the Reich approach- ed Britain. He also expressed doubt that the question would be settled on the basis suggested man Government spokesman in, Be11lin—-unconditional return of the Free City to Cienlnany.

Oil Concessions Center Of Disput e With Russia.

TOKYO. Jruly 21-—Ja.pa.n assem- bled warships in northern waters to back her stand against Soviet Russia in 9. dispute over vital coal and oil supply sources today while land forces of the two powers re- mained in conflict along the Man- choukuo-Outer Mongolia frontier.

A naval spokesman called the situation "extremely serious” as it result of a Russian threat to con- fiscate Jaipaneseoperatecl oil con- cesslons on the soviet half of Sakhalin Island north of Japan.

Another serious el, volving Japan with Great Britain at Tlentsin, was discused by Ecr- eign Minister Hachiro Arita. and the British Ambassador, Sir Robert craigie, for the third time in a conference which the foreign oi- fice said uitht "Some l7!08.'!'w“" toward solution.

An "important’.’ British conces- sion “on assistance to chip " was made, a Japanese iniormant said. bélll. no further details were divulg- e

’l'he Anglo-Japanese conver- sations seaned to

ummonod ‘ I cabinet council session for tomor- row after hearing the Foreign Ministers report.

Japanese said Arita won two important points in his talk with Sir Robert, first, when the British

or agreed "in principle" to discuss eneral questions of far eastern po cy and, second. when the Ambassador made what was in- tcrpreted as an indirect admission

the oil business-of British aid to Chins.

Reliable reports said 811‘ Rob- ert cook the position that any Bri- tish aid to China. was given under commitmenis as a signatory of the Nine-Power Treaty and a member of the League of Nations.

(In London the Foreign Office said the United States and France were being informed of every step the negotiations.)

At stake in theogiipute with Rusia were oil n which the Japanese navy hopes to de- velop into an important source of fuel supply.

The concessions lie in the Soviet half of Sakhalin Island. which is- divlded between Japan and Rus- sia. Recently a soviet court levied two tines amounting to 760,000 yen ($190,000) against the Japa- nese ooncessionairies but the Japa- nese appealed saying the Soviet charges oi violation of labor union contracts were groundless.

Sigenorl Togo, Japanese Ambas- sador in Moscow. protested July 4 against soviet "ohstructionist tac- tics" in a note which Russians said was in "ultimatum form."

when no compromise was reach- ed, soviet authorities announced they would confiscate the ounces- slons Thursday midnight if pay- ment of the lines was not made. No report has been received yet from Sakhalin whether the threat lllls been carried out.
