The Week in Parliament Our Parliamentary Correspondent writes: The settlement
with Japan, and the revelations of the Hudson-Wohltat conversation brought the House back on Monday prepared for excitements. The Prime Minister made his statement about Japan so early at question-time that there was only a small House to hear him, and it appeared that the majority of people preferred to study his answer before putting further questions. The matter was pursued again on Wednesday, but the assurances of Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Butler that there has been no change in Government policy at all have satisfied the House. There was an uneasy feeling that the formula implied extensive concessions by this country, and although many Members are apprehensive of the formula they recognise that the Government's inter- pretation of it cannot be criticised.
