tackled next by the imperialists. The
dispatch reports that the imerialist
plans may be held up, however, by
reason of the fear that the flaming
anger of the Chinese masses may re-
suit in the overthrow of the Nam
king puppet government, or at least
force the Kuomintang traitors into

Walter Duranty's dispatch from
Moscow to the New York Times re-
ports:
'Under the headline Something
Which Never Happened IZvestia
publishes today a Bitterly sarcastic
article about the attitude of the
League Of Nations Council toward
the Manchurian affair.
''The writer quotes Articles x, XII,
XIII and XVI of the League COW
enant, which deal with the preven-
ton of war and the obligations as
sumed by members of the League
of Nations for that purpose, and the
measures to be taken in case of in
fringement of those obligations.
''In each case he points out that
nothing was done about it, and con-
cludes:
'It therefore is evident that this
article was not infringed.
"The writer states that the articles
quoted are SO clear in terms and SO
obviously do apply to the Manchurian
situation that the one possible con-
clusion which can be drawn is
mo one in Manchuria committed
an aggressive act against the terri
torial and political independence Of
any member of the League of Ma
tions, no member of the League de-
clined arbitration, no one had re-
course to acts of war. The League
itself bears witness that nothing
at all in Manchuria, abso-
lutely nothing. Only one thing re-
mains incomprehensible--why is the
League Council now, for the third
time, busy with discussion of some
thing that never happened?"
A later dispatch from Duranty fur
ther reports:
"Thc Soviet press registers the
latest news from the Far East as
a justification of the Soviet theory,
first. that the sphere of the Japa-
nese military operations would be
widened inevitably, and, second,
that Japan, for the time being at
any rate, is not being restrained by
the League of Nations"
