"There is reason to entertain some anxiety concerning the situation at the front," a note presented by the minister said, "and we consider it a matter of urgent necessity to reach a definite agreement for cessation of hostilities, forthwith.,., Then .we.,may, discuss and determine arrangements for a withdrawal of Japanese troops. Japanese authorises have pre sumed all along that the Japanese attitude on this, matter was under stood by the Chinese. Failing to hear anything frefm the Chinese, however, since the league's resolu tion was passed, the Japanese author ities wish to make clear, beyond all doubt, their readiness to negotiate along the lines laid down by the league resolution."

Seek to Check Klse In financial circles it was reported, however, that an effort is now be ing made by officials to check the riso of sterling which, it was said in some quarters, operates against com mercial expansion.
