Now Secretary of State Stimson has sent
mild note to the Japanese government warning
it that no treaties made with China will be re-
cognized as legal if they infringe upon the
rights of American citizens doing business with
the people of Manchuria and China.
From the beginning of the Manchurian
mess the Japanese have defed the League of
Nations and the American government. In the
face of all demands and warnings they have
continued their advance until Manchura is now
theirs.
If the japanese continue their defiant at
titude, and effect treaty with China that is
inimical to the interests of the United States
what will Washington do?
If Japan continues defiant and disregard
our treaty rights Washington will be forced to
restort to drastic measures-break of diploma

resort to armed force.
