LONDON, Jan. l0—-Prime Min- ister Chamberlain today conferred with key cabinet ministers and a. former Ambassador to Chino. as he reviewed extensively the pqsi- tion that has dcvflopcd over yap- anese demands for permanent changes in administration of Shanghai's International Settle- ment.

Visitors to the Prime Minister includec. Sil- John Simon, Chan- cellor oi the Exchequer who was foreign secretary when Shanghai was a battle ground in 1932, and is the Government's expert on legal problems.

Mr. Chamberlain also saw Do- minicns Secretary Malcolm Muc- Donald who is understood to have advised him as to the attitude of the Dominions, particularly Aus- tralia and New Zelfand, to the Far Eastern situation. ___Ambassarlor Sir _I-l_ughc Knatch-

This appraisal, and audit. took n very considerable tinle"to colllplete and presents as accurate a picture oi the properties, earnings and oper- ating costs as can, in the opinion of the Board alld of your Com- mittee, be obtained.

On the completion of this vol- uminous report the suBKestion was offered your Committee that it might meet with representatives oi the Maritime Electric Co.
