TOXIC APPEARS HOPEFUL.
Japan Believes Five Fundamental Points

Will Lead to Settlement With China.
TOXIC, October 81 (P)-Tokio to-
night assumed hopeful attitude re-
garding the progress of the govern
ments five fundamental points for set
Element of the Manchurian controversy
with China
Despite reports from Marking in
dicating the rise of indignation among
the Chinese over the five conditions
set forth by Toxic, it was these pro-
posals that were being considered at
Geneva.
Press dispatches said Chinese YER
nacular newspapers referred to the five
points. which were submitted to Arls-
tide BRAND, presiding officer at the
League of Nations Council, by Kinkichi
YoShizawa, the japanese delegate, as

Official Toxic took the view that II
China agreed to the five fundamental
points, as Geneva reports indicated she
might. and recognize Japans treaty
rights in Manchuria and TokioS griev-
ance because of anti-Japanese move
ments in China, the atmosphere might
be cleared considerably.
III such an event it was felt here that
China and Japan might see eye to eye
for opening direct negotiations looking
toward settlement of the Manchuriau
trouble.
What Japan desires first of all is that
China recognize her existing treaty
commitments with the Toxic govern
ment. 1t was indicated here that as
soon as Marking does this, Toxic then
will be prepared to sit at conference
table with Chinese delegates and dis
cuss conditions for Japanese evacuation
of vital points outside the South Man
churian Railway zone. The latter zone
is under japanese control by treaty
rights, but Japan has occupied strategic
points outside that area since Septem-
Der Is.

Muttus of Germany, Vittorio Scialoja of

Spain, met this morning, supposedly to
formulate the next step.
A suggestion was made in unofficial
quarters that since the Council is not
prepared at this stage to employ a
strong hand" in the Sino-Japanese
conflict the best course would be to adj
journ the extraordinary session for two
OF three weeks to permit the Japanese
government to have time to consider its
position.
1t was believed in informed quarters
that Japan would not permit the situa-
ton to go so far as to bring on an
economic boycott. 1t is believed here
the Chinese boycott against Japanese
goods is already dealing severe blows to
Japan.

provided it became vacant. it was very
difficult to refuse him. though my in

Tokyo, Dec. 24.-(P)-The United
States, British and French govern
ments were understood Thursday to
have expressed to the japanese gov
eminent what Tokyo considers q
warning" upon the new japanese
military operations in the Chinchow
region.
The apprehension Of the United
States government was understood to
have been conveyed to Premier Inu-
kai Thursday afternoon by w. Gamer
on Forbes, American ambassador.
At the same time the Rengo news
agency said warning notes were re-
ceived from Great Britain and France
and that the text Of these Is to be
published soon, with the japanese
reply.
Forbes Visits Inukai
Ambassador Forbes called upon
Premier Inukai In mid-Afternoon, He
was understood to have expressed
Washington's apprehension and to
have declared arousing Of American
public opinion might follow q new
Sino-Japanese clash.
1t was the first expression Of WASH
ington's attitude to the new govern
ment. The ambassadors last con-
ference regarding Chinchow was with
Baron Shidehara, former foreign min
lister, just before the fall Of the
WakatSuN cabinet.
The Japanese reply to the French
and British notes, tho Rengo agency
report said, will stress the claim
there IS little difference between
regular" and irregular" bandits in
the Chinchow region.
The Japanese government Is un.
derstood to consider the present mill
tary operations entirely within the
realm Of the anti-bandit drive held
here to have been recognized by the
League Of Nations resolution Of Dec.
10.
A formal reply will probably be sent
to washington, Paris, and London
Saturday.
Hard to Distinguish
The premier informed Ambassador
Forbes personally one of Japan's dif-
nculties is to distinguish bandits from
regular Chinese troops and that there
fore the Chinese should withdraw
south Of the Great Wall in order to
avoid a clash.
This point probably will also be
stressed In Japan's reply, Tokyo also
pointing out 1t has devolved upon the
Japanese army to restore law and or
der.
A foreign office spokesman expressed
the opinion that the three capitals
perhaps placed too much confidence
In press reports and also reports Of
neutral observers at Chinchow whose
communications, he said, have been
based on the situation in that immedi-
ate region while the observers had lit
tie or no knowledge Of bandit activi-
ties.
I'VE have absolute proof" he said,
"that many so-called bandits are
nothing more nor less than Marshal
Chang Hsueh-Liangs regulars dis
guised as brigands and creating dis
turbances to place Japan in an awk-
ward position-egging US on. as it
were, with full knowledge neutral OBJ
servers are staying at Chinchow while
