TOXIC, September 23.-Reports that
Manchukuo was preparing an ultimatum
to the powers threatening abolition Of
extraterirtoriality if the state were not
recognized were denied officially in both
Changchun and Toxic today.
Reports that the Soviet government
was planning definite recognition Of the
new government also are without any
substantial basis. official sources said,
but it was added that the impression
was gained that some form of recog-
milton for the new state" was possible.
1t was explained that these reports
emanated mostly from Japanese ad-
visers of the Manchukuo regime and
stressed for the most part Moscow's
friendly attitude toward the new state
A source close to the government
was responsible for the statement, how
ever, that L. M. Karakhan, acting for
eign comissar, at Moscow, had told
the japanese Ambassador, Koki Hirota,
on September 19 that the Soviet gov
ernment was undecided.
AS for recognition in some FORM" 1t
was officially pointed out that for sew
eral months the Soviet and Manchukuo
governments had maintained practical
relations since they had jointly been
operating the Chinese Eastern Railway.
Further, the Soviets recently tacitly
consented to the opening of a Man
chukuo consulate at Blagovestchensk.

LEAGUE PREPARES
FOR FAR EAST ROW
New Session of Council Is
Dominated by Report on
Manchurian Situation.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 23-While the
League Of Nations Council this morning
devoted its first energies to the Chaco
conflict between Paraguay and Bolivia
this sixty-eighth regular session of the
Council was overshadowed by the
Manchurian conflict.
The report Of the Lytton Commission
on conditions in the Far East has been
oficially filed and Is now In the hands
of translators. Probably it will not be
published for another two weeks. and
it will be even longer before it is con-
sidered by the Council or the League
Assembly.
This is at the request of Japan, which
asked for more time to study the decu-
ment and TO send a special representa-
tive from Toxic whenever it shall be
presented for discussion.
Believed Opposed to Toxic.
Unofficial reports have said that the
document is unfavorable to Japan, but
it also is said that its recommended
tions leave room for argument by both
Japan and China Presumably it will
raise the question as to whether the
Council or the Assembly will employ
the concerted action prescribed in the
covenant for enforcing the will of the
League.
It also is believed that there may be
a possibility of Japans withdrawal from
the League If the Council or the As
sembly should take too firm position
against the Japanese military policy in
Manchuria.
In the opinion Of many authorities
these questions are of the gravest i'm
portance for the future of the League
and the peace Of the world.
As for the possibility of Japan's with

arbitrations of Indian troubles with the

was understood, was partially accepted.
