Nations. The arbitration agree

riot Of France. France wished arbi-
tration to be arbitrary. "A pact
was drawn along that line.
Nearly all nations intiniated their
willingness to accept the arbitra-
ton protocol. The action by Japan
came as surprise, therefore.
Statement By Delegate
M. Adachi, Japanese delegate to
the League meeting, issued state
ment saying:
"It is. with the greatest regret
that in the name Of my delegation
must register complete reserve
from the entire protocol"
Japan insisted upon the creation
Of Cancellation jurisdiction which
would enable the losing party in
the international Court to appeal to
the court for a review Of the case.
Australia opposed such a move.
Japan's attitude toward the arbi-
tration protocol was contained in q
formal communication to the
league.
In some quarters it is believed
the disturbed situation in the far
East was responsible for Tolyo's
action. Evidently the Japanese gov
eminent is considering the conse.
quences Of Intervention in China
because Of the civil war raging
there.
Add to Complication.
The Pekingese government and
Soviet Russia are In dispute which
adds another complication in the
Oriental situation.
So far Japan has made no move

indications that Japanese sentiment
Is swinging in that direction.
The arbitration protocol proposed
that decisions Of the international
court at The Hague should be final
upon questions of international Law
A hypothetical case would be an
appeal to the international court Ia
decide the international legality Of
the American law excluding Jap

If the court upheld the law as

be impossible for Japan TO appeal.
