 long and earnestly on this matter and the convenant of the League of Nations provides permanent and already tested machinery foi handling such issues as between states members of the league. Both the Chinese and Japanese have presented and argued then cases before the council. and the world has been informed through published accounts with regard 'tc the proceedings there.
 The council has formulated con- c1usions and outlined a Course oi action to be followed by the dis putants; and as the said disput- ants have made commitments tc the council, it is most desira ble that the league in no way relaz it's vigilance and in no way fail tc assert all the pressure and auth ority within its competence towards regulating the action of China and Japan in the premises.
 "On its parts the American government acting independently through its diplomatic representa- tives will endeavor to reinforce what the league does and will make clear that 1t has keen in terest in the matter and is not ob- livious to the obligations which the disputants have assumed to their fellow signatories in the fact of Paris as well as in the nine power pact should a time ariss when 1t would seem advisable to bring forward these obligations.
 By this course we avoid any danger of embarrassing the League in the course to which 1t is now committed"
 This note marked 8 new phase in relations between the League uf Nations and the United States. bringing them into closer accord than at any time since the senate refused to permit American mem bership. It was evident from Sec retary Stimson's reference to "al- ready tested machinery" of the league that he regards 1t as a valuable weapon for world peace which should be utilized at this time.
 Officials here would regard a far eastern war as a world calam- ity, especially at such q time ns this when 1t would aggravate the disoclations which have contribpt- ed to one of ahe gravest depres- sions in history.

 Tokio, Oct 12-(UP)-Japan is eager for an early settlement of the Manchufian dispute with China but is opposed to intervention by the Unified States government or the League of Nations, 1t was re- vealed officially today.
 Ianan tnafsfa ayrlts aiualv au o settlement between Japan and China and will reject vigorously efforts of Washington or Geneva to intervene.
 When this stand was made clear, or rather reiterated, 1t became known that Ambassador Katxugi Debuchi at Washington was in- structed 10 urge Secretary on State stimson to trust Japan's. state ments that no additional privileges are desired in Manchurla and that Japan is eager for an early settle ment of the problem.
 It was believed that the United States embassy advised Washing ton to proceed cautiously in the Manchurian question, Knowing thnt Japan would resent American in- tervention. Edwin Neville. United States charge d'affaires, gave for eign Minister Baron Shidehara the substance of the United States note to the League of Nations.
 Chiang Tsi-Ptn, one of Chtpa's leading diplomats in Japan pre- ssnted a new note to the foreign office demanding evacuation of sections of MaHchuria that have been occupied bly, Japapese troops and requesting restoration of Chin ese authority. Chjang said the note was not an ultirnatum.
 Neville told the foreign Minis- ter the United states sympathixes with the League of Nations view point and that the AmeFlcsn govr ernmspt hopes, fgr ( peaceful sqlr- ton of the ManchpEien tyopbls. Baron Shidebara cphfeEred with Premier Reijiro Wakatsuki lpme- diately after receiving the Ameri- can. charge, and 1t was understood Japan would reply to Washtngton's latest overtureS today.
 Japanese officials apparently were determined not to permit in-. teryention by the league. They were reported hopeful that Washr inston would not grant Q ChtnNEe request that American diplomats attached te the Chinese hsadduar- ters in ManehuriA sIpsfvise eva cuation of troops, The Smbassy here knew nsthing of such a re- quest.
