tanned from the first that the ina

and is contained In the following
statement In which Castle Is quoted
as referring to the secret notes be-
tween Japan and the United States:

and their contents were known to
the state department before they
were dispatched"

League circles of an economic boy
colt against Japan. 1t states:
"a. Under the circumstances
II Is better for our representative
to stay outside 1.-THE League). That
makes it clear beyond a shadow Of
doubt that we feel under no OBJ
legation to cooperate with the
Council II II should decide that
Japan is an aggressor state against
which IL Is desirable to direct the
punitive provisions of the League
Covenant"
