100000 Square Miles Occupied.

1000 Square Miles Occupied.
Today, Japan occupies about 200 900
square miles of Chinese territory in
ManChuria and has extended the area
of her military activities to points in
side the Great Wall. At the moment
of writing Japan is menacing the cities
Of North, Central and South China.
Her latest outrage is the attack against
Shanghai, the gateway to Marking,
capital of China.
In so doing, Japan not only violated
the provisions of the covenant and the
resolutions Of the Council Of the League
of Nations, but also the nine-power
treaty, which guarantees China'S terri
torial and administrative integrity, as
well as the Kellogg pact, denouncing
war as an instrument Of national policy
and calling for the peaceful settlement
of all international disputes, whatever
their origin OF nature may be.
From the very beginning of the dis
pute the United States has evinceG
intense interest in the solution of the
issue in cooperation with the League
Of Nations as may be seen from the
statement in the special message which
President Hoover sent to Congress OIL
December II, when he said, in part, that
the United States was deeply concerned
over the situation in ManChuria and
that as a party to the Kellogg pact and
the nine-poWer treaty the United States
had a responsibility in maintaining the
integrity of China and, in direct inter-
est with other nations, in maintaining
peace.
After a succession of events since last
December had taken a turn for the
worse, che United States found it nee
esSary on January to remind the gov
ernmentS of China and Japan in a
formal note that she could not admit
the legality Of any de faCto situation
and that she did not intend to recog-
nize any treaty or agreement entered
into between those governments or
agents thereof which might impair the
treaty rights Of the United States or
her citizens in China. including those
relating to the sovereignty Of the Re-
public Of China or to the international
policy relative TO China. commonly
known as the open door" and that
the United States did not intend to
recognize any situation treaty or agree
ment which might be brought about by
means contrary to the covenants anG
obligations of the pact of Paris, to
which treaty both China and Japan. as
we'll as the United States, are parties.
Efforts Appreciated
The Chinese government deeply ap-
preCiateS the efforts which the league
and the United States have made to
bring about a peaceful solution of the
dispute with Japan but events since
last December have defeated every hope

All Japanese Nationals have now
been evacuated from the central district
of the International Settlement, south
Of SoochoW Greek, and from HongkeW
with the exception of one area in the
southwest section, where American
Marines are assigned to patrol duty
This section contains half a dozen cot

that the situation could be improved.
To the Chinese government the prob
lem approaches the point at which the
broken promises and the SpeCiOuS ar
gumentS from Japan cease to have any
virtue and something more than the
cOnciliatOry functions of the league
must be considered.
China can no longer refrain from
seeking remedies not only under other
provisions Of the covenant, but also
under other instruments than the cove
nant of the League Of Nations. China
has, therefore, invoked before the
leagues council in addition to Article
XI, under which the situation has been
considered since September, Articles X
and XIV Of the covenant.
Indeed, the league has done its ut
most, though SO far without success.
to bring about a solution of the pend
ing dispute l should be lacking in can
dor if I did not say that the effective
ness Of the league as an instrument
Of peace would be greatly enhanced
if a way could be found to enlist a
more definite coordination between the
leagues effort and that of the United
States so as to secure a more united
front.
Third Invasion by Japanese.
This is the third invasion by Japan
Of China's territory. The first was in
1915, when. on the the preteXt Of taking
KiaOChow from Germany, Japan occu-
pied the whole of Shantung 1t took
the Washington Conference to get the
japanese out On the excuse of main
tanning peace and order the japanese
undertook a second invasion in 1928
and arrested the advance of the vic
tOriOuS Nationalist armies against the
last stronghold of Northern militaristS
at Peiping and again took possession
of the whole Province Of Shantung.
1t toOk a little over a year before
the japanese were persuaded by diplo-
matte pressure to evaCuate Shantung
Now the japanese have occupied Man
churia and are threatening other parts
of China in defiance Of the League
covenant and in violation of the nine
power treaty and the pact Of Paris 1t
now looks as if nothing Shcrt of another
united international effort, in which
the United States should participate
can make Japan realize that the sane
tity OF the treaties must be respected
and that the engagements Solemnly en-
tered into must be carried out
China is passing through a trouble
some period. She is trying to work out
her own problems. for which she has
right, as every nation has. The world.
including Japan, recognized this at the
Washington Conference. What Japan
is now doing is a complete reversal Of
every decision taken and embodied In
the treaties signed at that time.

There was no girl ashore that Steve
wanted to see. He had never felt this
way before about being ditched by a

Ann before-one he could be happy
married to, without whom life looked
bleak and cherries. He fingered be-

MINNEAPOLIS FUTURES
RALLY FROM LOW POINT

Minneapolis, June 15.-(P)-Grain
markets rallied from new low levels
Wednesday in fairly easy manner.
Not much volume of demand was
needed because there was little ten
dency to sell short at current levels
and no hedging pressure from the
southwest.
Coarse grain futures borrowed
strength from wheat. There was talk
of lot of export business in corn
but no trades were confirmed.
July and September wheat closed
l IA higher. Minneapolis July oats
closed IA higher and September IA
to 3-8 higher. July rye was 7-8 high
er, while September closed ga high
er. July and September flax finish
ed 1c higher and July barley 3-4
higher. September barley also closed
ga higher.
There was not much cash wheat in
and premiums held firm. Winter
wheat was in better demand and
sparingly offered. Durum was scarce
and good amber wanted.
Cash corn was scarce with demand
limited. Oats demand was fair and
desirable offerings limited. Rye de-
mand was quiet to fair and virtually
no desirable quality offered for sale
by the country. Barley was in light
supply and anything suitable for
mailing found ready outlet at firm
prices Flax demand was slightly
competitive with offerings moderate.
