While administration officials anticipated major developments in | the far eastern crisis within the next 24 hours, President Roosevelt continued In close contact with the situation. He conferred at the White House with under secretary of state Sumner Welles. Although Welles declined to comment, it was assumed that he discussed the general far eastern situation with the president. Hull’s declaration that there is no intention immediately to withdraw troops and warships from the orient was in reply to a letter from Smathers favoring such withdrawal. “These vessels and troops have never had in any sense any mission of aggression," the secretary wrote. Japan Accepts London, Dec. 20— (U.R) —Japan fully accepts in principle her liai billty to make full compensation 1 for casualties to British soldiers | and sailors in China, foreign secretary Anthony Eden Informed the house of commons today. "Details are now under discussion,” he declared. Eden disclosed that Great Britain refuses to recognize the “autonomous" government which is being fostered in North China in opposition to the Nanking ; regime. “His majesty’s government recognizes the central Chinese government as the government of all China,” he said, “and therefore there is no question of recognizing any other administration.” •' The British attitude toward the

far eastern situation stiffened at the beginning of what is expected !to be one of the most critical I weeks since the start of the conflict The increase of tension between the United States and Japan encouraged this country to take a more uncompromising stand In addition, there was undisguised anxiety over the safety of Hong Kong. Britain's vital crown colony in south China. Also, press reports from Tokyo indicated a rising tide of antl-Brlltsh sentiment. The chief events of the week I will be the foreign affairs dehate in commons tomorrow and Wednesday's cabinet meeting, when lhe government will be confronted definitely with a decision on whether developments warrant naval reinforcements in the far east. Despite official denials that any orders have been given for naval reinforcements, there is little doubt that government heads already have urgently considered such a possibility, but naturally are preserving a discreet silence until the decision actually has been taken.

that "the net results of Judge I Geiger's unwarranted Interference I with this department and the grand • jury have been: "First to free the companies 1 , from any present, necessity for •I correcting the objectionable pracj tices: second, to save them from I I indictment for past violations of 11 the anti-trust laws; and third, to : discredit the efforts of the govern- ’ ment to correct abuses in the in- •; dustry.” Refuses Comment Miwaukee, Wls., Dec. 20 -(U.RX— U- S.
