Britain sent the dustroycrscout to support the dal.-royer Thanet which was already moored in Swatow.

British naval quarters in Hong Kong said foreign ships had been “ordered" to leave Swntcw harbor by l P. M. today (2 A-M. ADT), but a.

Admiral Yarne1l’s rejection of the Japanese communication was issued from Chlnwangtao, North China. where the Cruiser Augusta. his flagship, is anchored.

Americans have escaped the treatmem; meted Britons and the swatow issues developed a further instance of contrasting Japanese abtliude toward Britons and Ameri- cans.

Japanese naval headquarters in swatcw issued a statement ex- pressing "appreciation of the American Navy's sympathetic at- titude toward Japanese operations in Swatow."

The statement gave no explan- ation but Admiral Ynrnell. in his rejection. said American warships would try to avoid interference with Japanese operations so far as was consistent with their duty.

Germany Seeks To Wean Russia From

I

Anglo-French Peace . .Bl0cs-~- BY J F SANDERSON

Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, June 22 —(CP Cable) -—Germany is making trade over- tures to soviet Russia in the hope of weaning the Soviets away from the Anglo-French peace bloc, it was stated in official circles here tonight.

Joachim Von Rlbbenirop, Ger- man Foreign Minister, has lnarlc advances to Russia both in Berlin and Moscow but diplomatic circles here insist he has been rebuffed.

There is doubt the British Gov- ernment has been aware of any diplomatic moves by Von R.ibhen- trrop since their beginning But there is no indication such moves have been responsible for slowing up the Moscow negotiations for a mutual defence pact linking Rus- sia. France and Britain.

The German Foreign Minister used the same tactic: in an at- tempt: to block the Anglo-'I\irklsh Military Alliance, sending to An- kara. Franz Von Papen. Germany's ace “trouble ‘- ‘ who offer- ed izhe Turkish Government all sorts of ls ‘ucemen‘ . But in that case British diplomacy triumphed over the German.

Meanwhile the negotiations in Moscow are going very slowly. There is belief here the soviet Government has not budged an inch from its original suggestion that explicit guarantees against aggression direct or indirect must be given Latvia. Estonia and Fin- land despite the fact the three Baltic states refuse to accept them.

This may be the explanation, official circles said, of reports from Moscow t-hat Foreign Commissar M_oloiof~f has rejected the latest British proposals which would have included the Baltic countries in the protection offered by the muc- ual aid pact without naming them.

A Paris report that Mclotoff had decided to praent a note to the french and British Amhnssadors in Moscow to clarify the Soviet shine: was considered a very hope- u s

It increased hope Moscow would adopt A more conciliatory attitude and attempt to meet the wishes of Britain and France rather than force its own views to the fore all the time.

evening crowds were still mining about stately Buck- ingham Palace over which the Royal standard flew again for the first time in six weeks. Twice the King and Queen and the little Pr cessu appeared on the balcony in answer to the crowd’: wiieals. They stood for many minutes gru- lously adrnowledging the cheers, but they left. the people still un- satisfied.

Top hats waved in the air among workme'n's dilapidated caps an broad accents bended with voices attuned to parliamentary oratory to shout. "Well Done Your Majesties". “Welcome Home." "Stout Work"and then the chant was taken up again. “We want our King and Queen."

The Royal Couple made their ilrst appearance on the balcony is minutes after they entered Buck- ingham Palace. at 8.15 P. M. (2.16 P. M. A171‘) still wearing the attire which they had on when they left the ,Empress of Britain at. south- a.mpton—the King in the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet and the Queen in 3, blue woolen dress and mun-.hing long coat.

Their second appearance, still an compsnled by the Princesses, who wore pink dreses. was at 8.40 P. M’. The King had changed to tails and the Queen was in a flowing hello!- rope evening gown.
