Crisis Comes in Farley
BY RICHARD d. M'MILLAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. 23.-Dr. Alfred SEE
of China brought the league coun-
ellis negotiations on Manchuria to
an abrupt crisis today by memo
randum in which he said it was use
less to proceed with the drafting of
any resolution for a commission of
inquiry which did not also provide
for evacuation of japanese troops.
SEE, after observing that China
has no objection to a properly con-
stituted commission Of inquiry, said:
Il beg to point out at this juno
ture that such a commission, how
ever constituted and whatever the
scope of its activity, is a purely il
lusory proposal, unless based upon
a simultaneously effective DISPOSE
ton covering the immediate needs
of the situation, which brooks no
further delay.
To put the matter more concrete
ly, an inquiry without simultane-
ously providing for immediate ces-
sation of hostilitieS and for with
drawal of Japanese forces-such
withdrawal to begin at once and
proceed progressively to prompt
mpletion-becomes a mere device
to ccndone and perpetuate, for
more or less indefinite period, the
unjustifiable occupation of China's
territory by an aggressor who al
ready virtually has attained his
unlawful object while these discus
sions are proceeding"
The council of twelve members,
excluding China and Japan, held a
brief private session today and adj
journed until Tuesday.
The situation remained extremely
difficult. The Chinese chung firmly
to their demand that immediate
evacuation be agreed upon before
the commission plan is accepted.
The Japanese demanded pacifica-
ton of Manchuria and complete
assurance of the safety of Japa-
nese interests before the troops are
moved.

have committed an act of wal
against all other members"
In this event, it continues. the
other members of the league "un-
dertake to subject it to the sever
ance Of all trade or financial rela-
tions and the prohibition of inter-
course between their nationals and
the nationals of the covenant
breaking state"
Even that is not all. Not only do
the league members agree to boycott
any member which resorts to war in
disregard of its signature, but to
prevent financial, commercial or
personal intercourse between the
nationals Of the COMMUNICATING
state and the nationals of any other
state, whether members of the
league or not"
1t is here in these last eight words
that the United States becomes a
dominating factor. The United
States is not a member of the
league, so is bound neither to boy
colt Japan-to be specific-nor to
observe a boycott established against
Japan by the league.
This fact operates as a muzzIe,
preventing the league from using
its teeth.
If the league went ahead with a
boycott against Japan without con-
sent of the United States, the peril
of world war-between Japan and
the United States on the one hand,
and the league powers on the other
would become imminent.
Should the United States insist
upon trading with Japan-selling
munitions, steel, cotton and other
supplies-and Britain, France, italy,
and the other league powers used
their fleets to stop American ships
off the Japanese coast, there would
be war.
This danger is the paralyzing
specter behind the councils DELHI
erations at Paris. This perhaps
more than any other single factor,
is what is slowing up its efforts to
head off war in the Far East and
save the even more important peace
machinery

Probably the busiest diploma mill in

ital boasts. 1t is the sacrosanet pre-
cincts of the United States supreme
court, and is rooted in tradition
reaching back to the courts incep-
ton 142 years ago.
For the trifling sum of SIS, a
friend of long standing to vouch for
him, and a clear record, any strug-
Cling small town barrister may
have one of the most impressive en-
boSsed certificates extant. The cer-
tificates vouches that the owner is
a member of the bar of the supreme
court of the United States. than
which there is no higher, and that.
given a client, he may argue in its
golded confines.
Scores appear in court weekly
Monday decision days are the most
popular-take the solemn oaths to
uphold the honor and dignity of the
court. Then, presumably, they re-
turn home to resume their wait for
clients. The certificate, mounted in
q neat black frame, frowns down
upon those involved in the meshes
of the law, overawes them, and per-
hapS secures for the backwoods
lawyer a bigger fee than he might
otherwise hope for.
He might never again visit Wash

preme court-but that's no matter.
