The war reports arrived in the
midst of a heated debate over the
Manchurian and Shanghai situa'

the Chinese delegate, and Wis
count Cecil, representing Great
Britain, were the principals.

Sato declared the League Coun
Gil had no legal excuse to put into
operation Article 10 of the Cove
nant, under which the League
pledged to respect the territorial
integrity of other members.
Sato insisted that the council
acted with unnecessary precipi
tation in invoking Article IL
and Article IS, providing for a
League inquiry into the merits
of the Sino-Japanese contro
versy.
Lord Cecil declared:
Notwithstanding the argu-
ment of my Japan anese col
league, it is the duty of the
council under Article Is to in.
vestigate Immediately any dis
pute possibly leading to war
when the matter is brought
to it's attention by one of its
members"

France, Italy. England, Germany
and Spain at Shanghai will form
the inquiry body.
U. s. Asked to Join
China met with one defeat to-
day when the council ruled that
Articles 10 and IS were operative
only with respect to Shanghai,
and not to Manchuria, as Yen
had demanded.
The United States today was
invited to participate in the
Shanghai inquiry.
