Ishii, of the Japanese delegation
here, accepted in the name of
his government, a formula Of
fered by the frightened janitors
of the League of Nations, to
meet Japan's opposition to the
aggressor clause of the League
arbitration protocol.
Japan was as successful in
making the League back down
in this case, as Mussolini was in
the Corfu incident, when he in
vaded Greek territory and killed
several civilians to satisfy his
conception of Italian dignity.
British propagandists pretend TO
believe that the danger confronting
the peace plans Of the league yester-
day is today obviated. Nothing is
farther from the truth. In fact there
is not single power of any con-
sequence affiliated to the League of
Nations that would not trample upon
every league covenant to suit its in
dividual purpose. These spurious and
futile gestures at peace are nothing
more or less than war moves.
another World War.
How near the world is to another
war was clearly indicated yesterday
when the press of the entire continent
lput on its blacklist headlines scream.
ling of hostilities between the United
States and Japan in the near future.
While the Japanese exclusion law Of
the United States is the ostensibIe
reason for the bad feeling existing be-
tween the two countries, the real
reason is the struggle over the ex-
ploitation of China and the Orient.
The United States capitalists will not
recognize a Monroe doctrine in the
East.
More MumbIe-Jumble.
The amendment which will be at
tached to article six of the arbitration
protocol to meet Japanese protest
Ireads:
IF question is held by a court of
arbitration to be matter solely with
in the states Jurisdiction the decision
shall not prevent the league council
or assembly from considering the
situation in accordance with article
eleven Of the league covenant"
Three Trained Liars.
The committee of three which
examined the formula consisted OF
Sir Cecil Hurst of England; M.
Loucheur of France, and Signor
Scialoja of Italy.
Announcement was made that
these three, after careful examination
of the formula, agreed in behalf OF
their governments to accept the prin-
ciple that the league council should
attempt Cancellation even after an
arbitration decision has been made.
Japan's greatest accomplishment
was to change the protocol definition
of aggressor to say:
"A state can only be assumed to be
an aggressor if it has not previously
submitted the question in dispute to
the league council or to the assembly
in accordance with article eleven Of
the League of Nations covenant"
To Hear Protocol.
The league assembly will meet in
plenary session tomorrow morning to
hear the protocol read by the commit
tee. Debate will then open.
The judicial subcommittee, on
which both Japan and the British
dominions are represented, met at
o'clock and unanimously adopted the
aggre&or formula.
M. Politis, of Greece, chairman OF
the first commission, introduced the
formula with the following comment:
Try to Hold II Together.
1.-TWO changes in articles five and
six of the arbitration protocol satisfy
all the legitimate japanese demands
without weakening any of the given
securities which other states should
obtain from the protocol.
1T is imperative to include in the
protocol the last chance state in
dispute with another over democratic
questions should have to enable a
settlement of the quarrel thru pacific
means before being called an ag-
gressor"
