1. An agreement regarding the opera

1. An agreement regarding the opera
ton Of the railways.
Japanese rights of settlement:
Hitherto the rights of settlement OF
japanese nationals have been confined
to South Manchuria, though no definite
boundary line between North and South
Napohuria has ever been fixed, and to
Jehol. These rights have been exer-
cised under conditions which China
found unacceptable. and this caused
continued friction and conflicts. Extra
territorial status as regards taxation
and justice was claimed both for the
Japanese and the Koreans, and in the
case Of the latter there were special
stipulations which were ill-defined and
the subject Of disputes. From evidence
given before the commission we have
reason to believe that China would be
willing to extend to the whole of Man
churia the present limited right of set
tlement, provided it was not accom-
panied by extraterritorial status. the
effect Of which, 1t was claimed, would
be to create a Japanese state in the
heart Of Chinese territory.
1t is obvious that the right of settle
ment and extraterritoriality are closely
associated. It is, however, equally clear
that the Japanese would not consent to
abandon their extraterritorial status
until the administration Of justice and
finance had reached a very much higher
standard than has hitherto prevailed in
Manchuria.
Two Means Of Compromise.
Two methods of compromise have
suggested themselves. One is that the
existing rights of settlement, accom-
no v,ic hu vtro TORI rit iol cta attIc
be maintained and that such rights
should be extended both to japanese
and Koreans in North Manchuria and
Jehol without extraterritorial status.
The other Is that the japanese should
be granted the right to settle anywhere
in Manchuria and Jehol with extra
territorial status, and that the Koreans
should have the same rights without
extraterritorial status. Both proposals
have some advantages to recommend
them. and both have rather serious OBJ
jectionS. 1t is obvious that the most
satisfactory solution of the problem is to
make the administration of these prov
inceS SO efficient that eXtraterritorial
status will no longer be desired. 1t is
with this object that We recommend
that at least two foreign advisers one
of whom should be of japanese nation
ality, should be attached to the Supreme
Court, and other advisers might with
advantage be attached to other courts.
The opinions of these advisers might be
made public in all cases in which the
courts were called upon to adjudicate
on matters in which foreign nationals
we're involved We also think that in
the period Of reorganization some for
eign supervision of the administration
Of finance is desirable. and, in dealing
with the declaration, We have presented
some suggestions to that effect
A further safeguard would be pro-
vided by the establishment. under the
treaty of conciliation. Of an arbitration
tribunal to deal with any complaints
which the Chinese or Japanese govern
ments might bring in their own names
or in those of their nationals.
The decision Of this complicated and
difficult question must rest with the

parties negotiating the treaty, but the
present system Of foreign protection,
when applied to a minority group as
numerous as the Koreans. who are.
moreover, increasing In number. and
who live In such close touch with the
Chinese population. is bound to pro-
duce many occasions Of irritation, lead
ing to local incidents and foreign inter-
vention. In the interests Of peace it is
desirable that this fruitful source OF
friction should be removed.
Any extension Of the rights of set
tlement In the case of japanese would
apply on the same conditions to the
nationals Of all other powers which
enjoy the BENEFITS Of most favored
nation" clause, provided that those
powers whose nationals enjoy extra
territorial rights enter into similar
treaty with China.
Railway Suggestions.
Railways:
AS regards railways, it has been
pointed out in chapter that there has
been little or no cooperation in the
past between the Chinese and Japa-
nese railway builders and authorities
directed to achieving comprehensive
and mutually beneficial railway plan.
Il is obvious that If future friction is
to be avoided, provisions must be made
in the treaty at present under dis
cussion for bringing to an end the
competitive system of the past, and
substituting a common understanding
as regards freights and tariffs on the
various systems The subject is dis
cussed in the special study number /,
annexed to this report. In the opinion
of the commission there are two pos
sible solutions, which could be con-
Sidered either as alternatives or as
stages to one final solution. The first,
which Is the more limited in scope, is
a working agreement between the Chi
nese and Japanese railway administra-
tionS. which would facilitate their CO.
operation. China and Japan might
agree to manage their respective rail-
way systems in Manchuria on the
principle of cooperation, and a joint
Sino-Japanese railway commission, with
at least one foreign adviser. might
exercise functions analogous to those
of boards which exist in some other
countries. A more thorough remedy
would be provided by an amalgama
tion of the Chinese and Japanese rail-
way interests. Such an amalgamation,
If it could be agreed upon, would be
VIC tiuc iIdIh vi llldL olIlo-JdpdIlcSc
economic collaboration, to secure which
Is one OF the objects of this report.
While safeguarding the interests of
China, it would place at the disposal
of all the railways in Manchuria the
benefit of the great technical experience
Of the South Manchuria Railway and
could be evolved without difficulty from
the system which has been applied to
the railways of Manchuria In the last
few months. It might even pave the
way in the future to some wider inter
national agreement which might in
clude the Chinese Eastern Railway.
Though fairly detailed description of
such an amalgamation is to be found
in the appendix as an example of the
sort Of thing that might be done, only
direct negotiations between the parties
could evolve detailed scheme Such
Evening star., 1932-10-03

solution Of the railway question would
make the South Manchuria Railway
purely commercial enterprise, and the
security provided by the special corps
of gendarmerie. when once this body
was fully organized, would enable the
railway guards to be withdrawn, thus
saving a considerable item of expense.
If this Is done, it would be well that
special land regulations and special
municipal administration should pre-
viously be instituted in the railway area
in order to safeguard the vested inter-
ests of the South Manchuria Railway
and of Japanese nationals.
II treaty on these lines could be
agreed upon. a legal basis for japanese
rights in the three eastern provinces
and in Jehol would have been found
which would be at least as beneficial to
Japan as the present treaties and agree
ments, and one which would be more
acceptable to China. China might then
find no difiiculty in recognizing all the
definite grants made to Japan by such
treaties and agreements as those Of
1915. unless abrogated or modified by
the new treaty. All minor rights claim
ed by Japan. the validity Of which may
be open to dispute, should be the sub
Ject of agreement. In case of disagree
ment, resort should be made to the pro-
cedure outlined in the treaty of con-
ciliation.
Sino-Japanese Treaty.
3. The Sino-Japanese treaty Of con-
| ciliation and arbitration, n-aggression
and mutual assistance:
It is not necessary to describe in
any detail the subject matter of this
treaty, of which there are many prece-
dents and existing examples.
Such a treaty would provide for a
board OF concillation whose functions
would be to assist in the solution Of any
| dtfficulties as they arise between the
governments of China and Japan. It
would also establish an arbitration
tribunal composed Of persons with ju-
diclal experience and the necessary
| knowledge Of the Far East This trib-
unal would deal with any disputes be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese gov
ernments regarding the Interpretation
OF the declaration or of the new
treaties, and with such other categories
OF disputes as might be specified in the
Treaty OF Cancellation
FINALLY. in conformity with the pro-
visions for non-aggreSsion and mutual
assistance inserted in the treaty, the
/ contracting parties should agree that

would be provided that after the or

parties or by third party would con-
stitute an act Of aggression emitting
the other party, or both parties in the
case Of third party attack, to take
whatever measures might be deemed
advisable to defend the demilitarized

ACTION BY LEAGUE
TAKEN IN January
lytton Commission Named
After Armed Clashes in
Manchuria and China.
1y the Associated Press.

9y the Associated Press.
The japanese conflict, which re-
suited in appointment of the Lytton
Commission, whose report was published
today, began last Autumn.
On September l8. 1891, the first
clash between Chinese and Japanese
taying, suburb of Mukden, when the
Japanese accused the Chinese Of at
tempting to destroy a bridge on the
South Manchurian Railway.
On the following day Japan occu-
pied Mukden and China appealed to
the League of Nations. In october
the League asked Japan to withdraw
from Mukden. japan refused and a
Gay or so later warned Russia against
military activities ON the Manchurian-
Siberian frontier. Moscow denied any
interference.
The campaign in Manchuria ad-
vanced to the North. The Japanese
defeated a Chinese army under Gen.
Mahohan-Shan at the Nonni River
Bridge and soon afterward captured
Tsitsihar, an important city of the
North. Subsequently they took Hardin.
China Refuses New Treaty.
Intervention by the League Council
brought from Japan only the assertion
that there would be no evacuation OF
Manchuria Until China signed new
treaty. guaranteeing protection of Japa-
nese lives and property.
China refused to do so. and the cam
paign moved to the south. Fighting
stubbornly, the Chinese were driven to
ChinchoW, the last Chinese stronghold
in Manchuria. The Japanese strategists
moved against Chinchow from two di-
rections and the Chinese withdrew
south of the great wall into China
proper.
The Chinese populace was outraged.
AT Shanghai there began an anti-Japa-
nese boycott. There were riots in which
there were some injuries and some
deaths. Japan's trade began to suffer
and the Japanese government demand
ed that the boycott he suppressed. But
by this time the movement had passed
beyond control of the Chinese authori-
ties.
Japan landed troops and there ensued
weeks of heavy fighting, at the end of
which the Chinese were driven from
Chapel. section of Shanghai which
they had defended stubbornly.
Henry Pu-Yi Installed.
Hostilities were suspended shortly
thereafter and a semblance of peace
was restored in Shanghai.
The japanese still held Manchuria,
however, and Henry Pu-Yi, last of the
Manchu dynasty, was brought from
seclusion and installed as the head Of
new government in Manchuria which,
in declaration of independence, estab-
ished itself as the State of Manchukuo.
Later Japan appointed a representa-
tive to supervise its interests in Man
chukuo and recently the japanese gov
eminent extended recognition to the
new state
Meantime China filed protest after
protest with the Lea que of Nations and
last January the Lvtton Commission
was appointed to in nse5tigate the situa-
ton in the Far East with a view to
evolving a permanent settlement of the
differences between the two great

Comments Submitted.
Comments:
The above suggestions and considera-
tions regarding the objects of the pro-
posed declaration and treaties are sub
mitted for the consideration of the
Council of the League. Whatever may
be the details Of future agreements,
the essential point Is that negotiations
should be begun As soon as possible and
should be conducted in spirit OF
mutual confidence.
Our work Is finished.
Manchuria for year past has been
The population Of q large, fertile and
rich country has been subjected to con-
ditions Of distress such as 1t has prob
ably never experienced before.
The relations between China and
Japan are those Of war in disguise and
the future Is full Of anxiety.
We have reported the circumstances
which have created these conditions.
Every one Is fully aware of the gravity
Of the problem which confrontS the
League Of Nations and of the difficulties
OF the solution.
At the moment Of concluding our
report we read IN the press two state
ments by the foreign ministers of China
and Japan, from each of which We
would extract one point Of the utmost
Importance.
On August 70 Mr.. Lo wen-kan de-
clared at Marking:
China IS confident that any reason
able proposal for the settlement of the
present situation will necessarily be
compatible with the letter and spirit
of the Covenant of the League Of Ma
tions and the Anti-war Pact and the
Nine-Power Treaty, as well as with
China's sovereign power. and viii also
effectively secure a durable peace in
the Far East"
On August 80 Count Uchida is re-
ported TO have declared at Toxic:
THE government considers the ques-
tion Of Sino-J Japanese relations as more
important that the question Of Man
churia and Mongolia"
We cannot close our report more
appropriately than by reproducing here
the thought underlying these two state
ments. so exactly does it correspond
with our own study of the problem, and
consequently with our own convictions,
so confident are We that the policy
indicated by these declarations, If
promptly and effectively applied, could
not fail to lead to a satisfactory solu-
ton Of the Manchurian question in the
best interests of the two great countries
Of the Far East and of humanity in
general.
