P"" Rescued by Order Worried Lion Acts to Ease Britain - Hopes to Fix Quarrels np With ; Germany, Japan ' Settlement " at Tientsin, Nazi Naval Treaty Aim of England (By The Associated Press) Great Britain moved Wednes day to settle problems she has on two sides of the world; she an nounced that Japan had agreed to submit the Tientsin quarrel to a conference in Tokyo and she dis closed an offer to negotiate a new naval agreement with Germany. But the road did not appear smooth on either front. Whereas Prime Minister Chamberlain an nounced that negotiations would start Immediately ln Tokyo "to effect a aettlement on various con ditions relating to Tientsin, Jan- anese leaders indicated that not merely the Tientsin Issues, but the entire question of British "coop eration in Japan's program for a "new order ln east Asia" would be on the agenda. Old Pact's Fate Is Pointedly Recalled And in offering to negotiate a new naval agreement with Berlin, replacing that which Chancellor Hitler scrapped April 28. Britain pointedly asked what assurances Germany could give that a new pact would not meet the aame fate as the old. The naval agreement offer was contained in a note in which the British government wrote a de fense of Its new policy of lining up Europe s smaller .nations ln a front which the British call an anti-aggression" bloc and which the Germans attack as an "en circlement?, camp. Concern over Germany's course made news in several other quar ters. . Winston Churchill, veteran untisn leader, predicted a sum mer of tension, "a period of dan ger more acute and nor laden with ugly facts than any which we have known in the hard, dis turbed period through which we have lived our lives." He named July, August and September as the crisis months, and he advised Hitler to "consider well before yon take the plunge into the ter rible unknown." . There was anxiety in Paris. where Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet conferred ln quick succes sion with united SUtes Ambassa dor William C Bullitt and British Ambassador Sir Erie Phlpps. He was said' to have given Informa tion on German moves in Danzig which foreign office circles said might become critical in a short time.' These circles have ahown concern over reports that German officers and soldiers were moving into Danzig disguised aa tourists and athletes. They fear a . coup to regain the free city for Ger many, an avowed nasi aim. ? In Warsaw reports were heard that soldiers of the Danzig free corps had been drilling all da long. Poles declared they were ready to defend themselves . at "the drop of a bat" and their declaration waa given ueanlnr by disclosure that a German, coastal patrol plane had been turned back from a prohibited area at the month of Danzig harbor by Polish anu-aircrait guns. In Shanghai United States Con sul-General Clarence E. Gauss firmly rejected a Japanese warn lng for al' foreign Teasels to leave the ports of Wenchow and Foo- chow by noon Thursday (11 p. m Wednesday, EST). He . notified Japanese officials that Japan would be held responsible for any damage to American i terests ln the two ports, which Japan - de clared her Intention to occupy.

Twenty-seven foreigners, includ ing six Americans, were reported to be remaining at Wenchow, oth ers having left for Hongkong. Most foreigners declined to leave Foochow.
