with the flaring up of the clash OF
interests among the imperialists
themselves. Latest Paris dispatches
report that official approval for the
Japanese proposal is blocked by the
opposition of Great Britain, Norway
and Spain. The latter two powers
are under British influence. The
British position is that BRAND should
present the proposal for a commits
sion to the Japanese and Marking
delegates as his own, and not that
of the Council. This move will put
the Marking delegates in an embar-
RAISING position, since if they accept
the proposal without the appearance
of having it forced on them, they will
be completely exposed before the
Chinese masses.
Hand in hand with the move to
Investigate" the situation in China,
is a proposal enlanating from the
British foreign office to "legalize" the
division Of China by kicking her out
of the League of Nations, or at least
to deprive her Of her seat in the
League of Nations Council. A Lon
don dispatch to the New York Times
reports:
"The London Times, which often
reflects the opinion of the Foreign
Office, will make the pointed in
ference tomorrow that China is
hardly qualified to belong to the
League of Nations and certainly
not entitled to seat on the
Council"
A Toxic dispatch to the New York
Herald Tribune reports that the jap
anese imperialists are confident that
the investigating commission will be
limited to three members, with "a
French military officer at its head, a
British lawyer and an American
business man." The dispatch states
the Japanese position, as follows:
1.-THE japanese want a small
commission, preferably of three
members, representing the United
States, Great Britain and France
nations which the Japanese re-
gard as inherently imperialistic in
their syn1pathies and policy"
The Japanese are reported as in
sisting that the commission be linn
tied to an investigation of China and
that it shall not investigate Japan's
actions in Manchuria or any other
part Of China.
U. S. Continues Support of Japan
The United States, in its role of
leader of the anti-Soviet front, con-
tinues to support the japanese po-
sition in the secret conference of the
League Council in Paris. A Paris dis
patch reports:
'In League quarters it was said
that Ambassador Dawes statement
to tie members of the Council
was: eff the League wishes to apply
economic sanctions to get the jap
anese to withdraw, very well; but
America will not participate"
The Marking delegate, Dr. Alfred
SEE, in speeches intended to hide
from the Chinese masses the sell-out
of China by the Kuomintang, has
been demanding that the League act
under Article XII Of the League COW
enant to apply an economic boycott
against Japan. BRAND has also in
dulked in the gesture of invoking
this article. In the meantime, the
only economic boycott that is being
pushed is the proposal by the Wall
Street government for financial boy
colt against the peaceful Soviet Tn
ion here.
Spanish Press Sees U. S. Guiding
League"
A Madrid dispatch reports that the
Spanish press is Of the opinion that
the United States, through Dawes,
Is guiding the League. Ell Sol, SPANS
most important liberal paper, declares
the United States lis guiding the
League and using II TO haul Its chest
nuts out Of the fire.
