upheaval which threatens ultimate

By the agreement of France, Germany

whether London will stand by her form

to keep their grasp on ..Manchuris.
The negative attitude Of Great Brit
sin shows thst she approves this situa-
ton. Thus the United States, France
and Germany are left alone to up.
hold the territorial integrity OF China.
