DOUBT VOICED
ON SINCERITY
Of JAPANESE

SPECIAL SESSION OPENS
Assembly Is Convened on
Call of China, Invoking
Article XIV.
By United Press

bu tntfed Press
GENEVA, March 3.-League Of
Nations leaders we're skeptical of
permanent peace at Shanghai
when the special league assembly
convened today to consider the far
eastern conflict.
The Chinese regarded halt of
japanese operations as a trick to
hold the territory gained. They
doubted if the Chinese government
would accept an armistice made
entirely on Japanese terms.
THE japanese want to remain
where they are instead Of retir-
ing" DR.. w. w. Yen, head of the
Chinese delegation, told the United
Press. 1T is just a trick to main
tain the status quo"
A prominent league leader told
the United Press he doubted the
permanency of the sudden change
at Shanghai, because the leagues
hopes had been dashed so often.
I'VE naturally welcome an armis-
tice, but anxiously will await fur
ther news from both sides" he said.
Paul-BOncOur in Chair
Joseph Paul-Boncour of France
opened the assembly, which was
called by Chinese under provisions
of Article XIV of the league COW
enant.
Paul Hymans, Belgian foreign
minister, was elected president of
the assembly. Paul-Bon-cour, as
president of the league council, was
chairman of the opening session
Hymans received forty-five votes
of the forty-seven cast. Five MEM
Der nationS-Argentina, Honduras,
Paraguay, Dominican Republic and
Nicaragua-were not represented.
Paul-Bancour reminded the dele
gates that the extraordinary assem-
bly, was the second in league history,
the first having been held to admit
Germany to membership.
The chairman said the second
special assembly was convoked I'M
der circumstances quite different
from the first.
1.-THE conflict which has arisen
between two members of the league
Is the most important one that ever
has occurred within the league. Tt
is a conflict far removed from our
midst, between two nations finding
themselves in special positions to-
ward each other"
Many Woman Attend
The assembly was held in the
same barn-like, somber hall where
the plenary sessions of the dis
armament conference were con-
Quoted. The delegates desks were
the only floor seats occupied. The
tribunes and press galleries were
filled mostly with women, whose
bright clothes contrasted sharply
with the black garb of the
delegates.
Upstairs, Carlos, the bartender,
and his assistants were kept busy
serving a crowd that gathered to
discuss the reported end of hostil-
tiles at Shanghai.
Hymans, a white haired venerable
statesman, took the presidential
chair after Paul-Boncour's address.
The assembly accepted Hymans'
proposal to raise the number of
vice-presidents from six to eight.
China and Japan notified the pres
ident that they would not par
ticipate in the vice p~residencies.
