Manchurian conflict.
TOKYO, Oct. Is. CP-The Japan
csc foreign office today instructed
its delegation in Geneva to ID ev-
cry effort to see that the proposal
for including an American repre-
sentative in the League OF Nations
council during discussion of the
Sino-Japanese trouble be dropped.
The proposal caused more or less
commotion at the foreign ministry
which lost no time in sending IN
structions to its Geneva represent
ativeS.
Matter of Principle"
The foreign office took the view
that, under the circumstances, 1t
should make Japan's attitude clear
at the earliest possible moment, Of
ficials feeling that the japanese
public would not tolerate America
and the league working together In
the Manchurian tangle, which is
purely an affair between China and
Japan"
The spokesman for the foreign
office said:
There is all the difference in the
world In America as an outsider
keeping itself informed as to the
leagues activities, compared with its
actual participation in the councils
sittings."
In connection with the foreign
Offices contention that public
opinion would not approve of Amer
lea taking an active role at Geneva,
the spokesman emphasized II was
most assuredly not due to any I'M
friendlineSs on ths part OF Japan,
but more as a matter Of principle.
Memorandum Withheld
The spokesman asserted two
Washington memorandum Cpre-
sumably notes urging peace and
proposing confinement of troop
activities in Manchuria to the re-
quirements Of International law
had been withheld from the Japan
csc public on the ground they might
stir up anti-American feeling.
Only a part Of the messages filed
by Kenkich. Yoshizawa, Japan's
representative at Geneva, reporting
the leagues proceedings, had been
received here, some of them appar-
emily having been delayed en- route.
Because Of this the Tokyo govern
ment withheld its reply pending re-
ceipt OF Y~oshizawa's messages in
full and sent instructions to the
Geneva delegation to do its utmost
TO persuade league officials to
abandon their proposals for actual
participation by America.
