JAPANESE DENY
PLAN OF CONQUEST
League Council Told Empire
Wants Peace-Report
Expected Soon.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, Switzerland, November 23.
--Resunling his defense of Japan's
course in Manchuria, Yosuke Matsuoka
told the League of Nations Council
today that it need not be frightened
by charges that Japan has embarked
upon a course of conquest In Asia.
For $500 years, he said, Japan re-
mained in its own islands without any
attempt at expansion despite ample op-
portunities. That record of centuries,
he declared, testifies to "an innate
love of peace in our race"
Other countries have had their Ma
polecns, he said, but no great warrior
has succeeded in Japan because of the
peaceful instincts OF the people.
He referred to document published
abroad some time ago, described as a
memorandum on plans for japanese
domination of the Pacific prepared in
1927 by Premier Tanaka for the EN-
peror.
It was a forgery, he said. and he
cited several passages which ne de-
scribed as inconsistent and absurd, sup
porting his contention that the docu-
fnent was issued for Chinese propagan-
da purposes.
He reverted to the anti-Japanese
boycott in China, describing the boy
colt as worse than military warfare. He
quoted excerpts from American official
correspondence characterizing the Chi
nese BOYCOTT of American goods as IL
legal, form of blackmail and a hos
tile act. Washington stopped that
boycott. he said, by threat OF naval
force.
80 ~afa RI the
Assembly's Committee of Nineteen,
which in turn would organize special
consideration by the Assembly.
Meanwhile China, one of the nations
directly interested in the Manchurtan
problem, figured In another phase OF
world affairs outside the scope OF the
Manchurian issue.
Suggested by Davis.
This was disclosed after yesterdays
meeting of the Organization Committee
for the Projected World Economic Con-
ference, which was attended by Norman
Davis. American representative.
Mr.. Davis suggested it would be
good idea to have representative Tor
China, the biggest silver nation, included
among the technicians who will deal
with the silver problem at the world
conference. This suggestion was made
in connection with a decision OF the
Organization Committee to call the at
tention of League economic experts to
the need for haste in preparing a pro-
gram for the conference.
The bureau of the World Disarma-
ment Conference is in recess to make
way for the League Council and It's
problems.
n was understood the Japanese
MANNED to conclude their statement re-
iecting the principal findings Of the
Lytton report on Manchuria. China was
expected to follow with further reply to
the japanese.
