Toxic Version of Occupation
Resort to Arms Declared Only Way Out for Japan
to Protect Its Nationals Lives and
Property in Mdnchurid.

There was no other way out for
Japan excepting resort to arms IN
order to protect the lives and property
of Japanese in Manchuria where there
is no adequate government and bandits
are raiding the countryside from time
to time.
The present trouble in Manchuria Is
a matter of deep regret to both emma
and Japan and we hope the dispute
will be settled In such way as to make
certain there will not be recurrence.
Losses Estimated.
All the latest figures are not at hand,
but Chinese depreGc 'ons from the time
of the outbreak on September ID, until
October 26, include $50 japanese killed
by Chinese soldiers, $50 women assault
ed, 800 houses burned and more than
900 houses looted.
The figures on losses suffered by Jap
anese In the interior are unknown put
they are believed to be great aside from
the damages inflicted by bandits. Dur
ing the last so days japanese detach-
ments have been dispatched to more
than so points in efforts to protect the
Chinese from their own marauolng
bands.

verbal accounts Of what is being said
and done by the League Council, and
at the same time certain amount Of
information regarding what Gen. Dawes
is saying and doing percolateS into
League circles.
Sessions Held In Secret.
The Leagues sessions thus far have
all been secret, like Gen. Dawes con-
versations, on the theory, which re-
mains to be proved that secret talks
get results quicker and better than
open diplomacy.
Gen. Dawes apparently has been dis
cussing with Mr.. Matsudaira and Brit
ish Foreign Minister Sir John Simon
points and proposals which the League
discussed vainly weeks ago with Ken
kichi Yoshizawa, Japan'S Ambassador
to Paris and delegate to the League,
but which, as neither Gen. Dawes nor
Mr.. Matsudaira nor Sir John was pres
ent at the previous negotiations, they
apparently now wish to explore again.
In the Council, Chairman Aristide
BRAND suggests that treaties having to
do with security should be separated
from treaties having to do with eco
ncmic rights and that the two sets
should be considered separately. AS
there seem to be dozens Of treaties
and agreements, the work Of sitting
might, it Is admitted, take corps Of
able jurists some months.
Sir John opposes separating the
treaties and wants quick action of some
sort, but he seems thus far to have
made no definite proposal.
Council Snubbed Openly.
Mr.. Yoshizawa yesterday openly
snubbed the council, first by keeping 1t
waiting an hour and then by deliver
intranSigeant statement, though he
speaks both English and French.
DR.. Alfred SEE, Chinese delegate,
writes strong letters to Gen. Dawes and
to the various members Of the Council,
pleading China's despair. Last night
he threatened to force the Councils
hand by invoking articles is and 16
of the covenant In the near future.
These articles involve the whole issue
are proved futile, 1t Is assumed through
out Europe that the whole cause OF
peace and disarmament in any 1mme-
date future would be hopeless.
But the peace Of the world, which
in the Geneva meetings doomed so large
in the debates, seems to have barely
been mentioned in the feverish atmos-
phere Of Paris. In ParS IL Is as II
a sort of League Of Imperialisms has
been suddenly formed against China
and in favor OF Japan. :.
Unless Russia, half paralyzed as 1t
Is by the exigencies Of the five-year
plan. should Unexpectedly intervene
against Japan's violation Of the Chi
nese Eastern Railway zone, the mill
tary phase Of the Manchurian crisis
NAV now be considered ended. With
the taking Of Tsitsihar, Japan's VIC
tory is complete. The outcome, more
over, was never dubious.
The japanese are now in possession
of all three Manchurian provincial
capitals, Mukden, Kirin and TSitSi-
har. In each their procedure seems to
have been the same. They have ousted
Chinese officials, disarmed the Chinese
policy and Soldiery, seized public funds
and institutions and put In new puppet

DAWES ACTIVITIES
YELLED IN: SILENCE
State Department Has Moth.
ing to Report About Paris
Negotiations.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

China was a taboo subject at the
State Department today. There are
seemingly important negotiations going
on between Gen. Dawes, representing
the Secretary Of State, in Paris and the
members Of the Council Of the League
Of Nations. What these conversations
are naturally is a dead secret.
Not even the occupation Of the i'm
portant railway junction Tsitsihar is
officially known at the State Depart
ment, although there are many Amer.
lean official representatives in that dis
turbed area of the Far East. The State
Department has been informed about
the occupation only by press reports
which are undoubtedly correct"
At the end Of the World War the
statesmen Of the world decided to abol-
tSh secret diplomacy because, they said
that system of international intercourse
was one Of the principal causes OF war
Neither the American nor the Other
governments has changed in any way
that fundamental principle: SeIret d.
plomacy has been replaced by conf
dental" diplomacy.
Serious Problem Confronted.
There is no doubt that the world Is
confronted with a serious problem. No
body really bothers much to discuss the
merits or dement's of the Japanese case
in Manchuria. The main problem has
been placed on the basis whether In
the conflict between the League Of Ma
tions and the signatories Of the Kellogg
pact and the nine-power pact on the
one side and the military which seems

for peaceful settlements or the military

The world chancellories and espe'
cially the American Department o.
State have so far used all possible
means to persuade Japan to stop tn
military operations in China and dis
cuss with the helpless Chinese theil
various problems.
Military Balks Face Saving.
What really interested the League
and the American Government was
that the japanese should cease theil
military operations and thus give tht
impression of having obeyed the
Leagues orders not to take any ag-
gressive action for the settlement OF
private dispute.
According to reports from Paris, the
members of the council were quite will
ing to accept the solution that the
Japanese should keep their army in the
occupied area under the name Of mil
itary police"
Despite assurances given by jap
anese diplomats that the army In Man.
churia will take no further military
steps against the Chinese, 1t appears
that the japanese military cast Is not
anxious at all to save the face Of the
league or anybody else.

TOXIC. November 19-China Is at
tempting to carry out her national pol
icy by trampling upon existing treaties
with Japan.
Japan has no intention Of developing
the present trouble, but has been forced
to take various military measures to
protect Japanese interests In Mall
churia. including the Taonan-Angan-
chi Railroad, which was built with
Japanese loans, but which the Chinese
defaulted owing to ChinAs insincerity
and defiant attitude.
"NO Other Way Out"
The clashes Of Japanses and Chinese
at Tahsing were due entirely to disre-
gard of agreements on the part Of the
Chinese. Why are the powers main
tanning troops in China? Why do he
powers still have extraordinarily
rights in China?

Gen. Nah also sent message to
Chang Chin-Hui, governor OF the
Hardin district, reports said, indicating
that he refused the truce terms OF Gen.
HOMO, japanese commander, only De-
cause he himself was unable to read
them and his officers took advantage OF
this by misinterpreting the meaning OF
Gen. Honjo's message. Gen. Nah, the
report said, stated he would go per-
sonally to Hardin soon to explain his
position to the Japanese.
The attitude of the japanese govern
ment toward the Leagues efforts to
reach a compromise plan on the Sug-
gestionS advanced by Washington,
London, Geneva, Paris, Canton and
Marking was that too many cooks are
likely to spoil the broth. The posi-
bility of commission of investigators
vino would visit China proper as well
as Manchuria was rather looked upon
with favor here, however, and 1t was
believed that in the end such COM
mission would bear out Tokio's original
contention-that the only possible
permanent solution of the Manchurian
problem lies in direct negotiations be-
tween China and Japan.
Information received here indicated
that the United States might be repre-
scented on such a commission but
whether it would be civil or military
was not intimated. Japan feels, how
ever. the commission could do no harm
and might do some good and that she
can well afford to wait for a settlement,
for two or three years if necessary.
I'VE are anxious to restore our rela-
tions with China" a government
spokesman said, but we are in no
hurry to discuss the five points. The
Chinese are splendid at the waiting
game; they have much patience. We
waited q year before they consented to
discuss Shantung conditions which dis
cussion resulted ultimately in our with
drawal.'
Japan Replies to Soviet.
Eugene Chen, Chinese internal COM
promise leader, told the Japanese consul
ct Canton that the Marking govern
ment is depending entirely too much
upon the League and that the proper
remedy is the demilitariZation Of Man
churia, the ousting of war lords and the
setting up of a civil government.
A Japanese charge that Russia is
"partially responsible" for hostilities in
Manchuria was contained in Japan's
reply to an earlier note of Litvinoff,
which complained that Japan was
manufacturing" rumors of Soviet in
reference in the conflict.
The japanese note declares that the
RusSian-owned Chinese Eastern Rail-
way assisted in transporting Chinese
troops to Tsitsihar and Anganche, and
It suggests that the Soviet government
issue fresh statement declaring it is
not furnishing arms or munitions to
the Chinese.
panese oficials manufactured" rumors
of Russian assistance to Gen. Nah, the
reply expressed the belief that these
rumors were circulated by the Chinese
to encourage til own troops.
For this reason, Japan replied, Russia
should make a complaint to the Chinese
If she is really maintaining a strictly
neutral policy.
