Sends Communication to Geneva Citine Leagues $ Power Under Article Concerning Circumstances Which Threaten Interna- ional Peace"
League Telegraphs Council Members Giving Impres. sion It Will Act Despite Fact Nanking Govern ment Is Not Recognized Leader.

Geneva, May II R-The Nanking nationalist government today ap pealed to the League of Nations against the Japanese who hay. driven the Chinese nationalist out Of Tsinan.
 The league secretariat received d communication from the foreign minister of the Ranking govern ment asking the intervention of the League of Nations under paragraph two article eleven of the covenant. It also requested that a special meet ing of the league council be con- voked to investigate the Japanese expeditionary movement into Shan tune,
 League Has Power
 Paragraph two of article eleven of the league covenant reads:
 Tt is declared to be the friendly right of each member of the league to bring to the attention of the as- sembly or of the council any cir ,cumstances whatever affecting inter- national relations which threaten to disturb international peace or the good understanding between nations upon which peace depends" The communication was immedi- ately telegraphed to all members of the league council It expressed a willingness on the part of She Nan king government to accept any proper agreement which night re- suit from international inquiry or from mediation.
 The document gave a history of the recent situation in China and mentioned what 1t termed the ''un- justified depredations Of the Jap anese."
 The fact that the league immedi- ately circulated the Ranking protest to all members of the council left a first impression that the league would act officially in the matter despite the fact that the Ranking government Is not recognized by the league as the official government of China The Picking government. represented by Cheng Loh on the league council. is the officially rec ognized government.
 Want Peking Support
 It might seem necessary that Pek- ing or Cheng Loh support the Man. king demand before the league could inquire into the matter. It appeared probable. however. that if Japan, also member of the council. made no objection the matter would go before the league in view of the important place which tKe nation- alists are gaining in Chinese political life
