JAPAN POSITIVELY
WON'T ARBITRATE
WITH CELESTIALS
MIkADo MAKES HIS POSITION
CLEAR IN POINTED AND
CAREFUL NOTE.
SETS OUT The REASON WHY
Resources Of Diplomacy Have Not
Been Exhausted And Therefore
No Occasion Arises For Appealing
To Hague.

TOXIC, March 31.-Answering re-
quest for an expression of the views
of the Government concerning China's
proposal that the Manchurian Ques-
lions be referred to The Hague, In
connection with which special dis
patches say that China has officially
requested the United States to use its
influence to persuade japan to accept,
the Foreign Office Tuesday gave out
the following carefully worded state
ment:
Several questions between Japan
and China of more or less Importance
with reference to Manchuria still re-
main unadjusted. Some are compl1-
Gated. but all readily could be made to
Weld to the diplomatic process of give
and take. Japan, fully approaching
the advantages OF removing all causes
for misunderstanding from her rela-
tionse with her neighbors, made pro-
i posals to China looking to the maj
settlement of outstanding differences.
these proposals were framed IN a
spirit of Cancellation and they were In
no sense an ultimatum representing
the irreducible minimum. Japan ex-
nected that the terms offered would
serve as basis of negotiations, or as
points of departure for reciprocal con-
cessions and accommodations emma
at first apparently accepted Japans
friendly overtures in the spirit in which
thew were rendered, and even went so
far as to express approval OF some OF
the projected solutions. But mallgn
Influences ultimately were permitted
to prevail, and without discussing the
questions or making any counterpart
posals, China categorically rejected ia
mans offer and suggested recourse 10

The Hague.
I'm adopting this extraordinary
course China is guilty not only OF
