CHAPTER x.
CONSIDERATIONS AND SUCCESS
TIONS TO THE COUNCIL.
Suggestions to facilitate final solu-
ton:
1t is not the function Of the COM
mission to submit directly to the gov
ernments Of China and Japan recon-
mendations for the solution of the
present dispute. But, in order ito
facilitate the final solution Of existing
causes Of dispute between the two
countries" to quote the words used by
NJ BRAND when explaining to the
council the text of the resolution which
originated the commission, we now
offer to the League of Nations, as the
result Of our studies suggestions de-
signed to help the appropriate organ
Of the League to draw up definite pro-
posals for submission to the parties to
the dispute. 1t should be understood
that these suggestions are intended as
an illustration of one way In which the
conditions we have laid down in the
preceding chapter might be met. They
are mainly concerned with broad prin-
ciples, they leave many details to be
filled In and are susceptible OF con-
siderable modification by the parties
to the dispute If they are willing to
accept some solution on these lines.
Even II the formal recognition OF
"Manchukuo" by Japan should take
place before our report is considered
in Geneva-an eventuality which we
cannot ignore-we do not think that
our work will have been rendered
valueless. We believe that in any case
the council would find that our report
contains suggestions which would be
helpful for its decisions or for its rec
concentrations to the two great powers
concerned, with the object of satisfy
ing their vital interests in Manchuria.
It is with this object that, whilst
bearing in mind the principles Of the
League Of Nations, the spirit and letter
of the treaties concerning China and
the general interests of peace, We have
not overlooked existing realities, and
have taken account Of the administra-
tive machinery existing and in process
of evolution in the three eastern prov
inces. 1t would be the function OF
the council. in the paramount interest
of world peace, whatever may be the
eventuality, 70 decide how the sug-
gestionS made in our report may be
extended and applied to events which
are still developing from day to day,
always with the object Of securing
durable understanding between China
and Japan by utilizing all the sound
forces, whether in ideals or persons,
whether in thought or action, which
are at present fermenting in Man
churia.
Invitation to the parties to discuss
settlement:
We suggest in the first place that the
Council of the League should invite
the governments of China and Japan
to discuss solution of their dispute
on the lines indicated in the last
chapter.
Advisory Conference.
An advisory conference:
If the invitation is accepted, the next
step would be the summoning as soon
as possible Of an advisory conference.

lating to respective rights and inter-
this case also, If 80 agreed, with the
help Of neutral observers
Finally, we suggest that the results
OF these discussions and negotiations

Of success, necessitates for its fulfil
ment the cultivation of friendly rela-
tions with all countries, and, above all,
with that great nation which is their
nearest neighbor China needs, in
political and economic matters, the
cooperation Of all the leading powers,
but especially valuable to her would be
the friendly attitude of the Japanese
government and the economic CO.
operation of Japan in Manchuria. All
the other claims of her newly awakened
though they may be-should be sub
ordinated to this one dominating need
for the effective internal reconstruction
of the state.

for the week in the Capital. Lord
Astor, who has never been able to
completely shake the traditions OF
America from his shoulders, has en-
joyed seeing old Virginia life in all its
phases during this visit.
Nor were the visits all of a society
nature, for both Lord and Lady Astor
visited st. AIMS Preventorium for Chill
dren far up in the mountains, at Mis-
sion Home, where 25 or more little
girls and boys are at home while fight
ing the white plague, which is SO preva-
lent In the mountain district. Under
nourishment and lack Of care would
soon deplete the population in that and
ether mountain sections were it not for
this generous care And so like a peep
into another world was their meeting
with Lord and Lady Astor, who left
more than mere blessings behind them
As Christmas day draws near, one
hears much of the kindly effort to bring
happiness to the child world whose
minds are still illusioned as to Santa
Claus, and just as the good cheer oi
the President and Mrs. Hoover reaches
far into the mountains of Virginia In
the neighborhood of their camp, so here
in Washington equally necessary work
is being carried on. 1t is Tuesday eve-
ming at 7:30 o'clock that Mrs. Arthur
