The commissions was headed by
Lord Lytton, an Englishman, and
included an American, a French
man, an italian, and a German.
The American was Major General
Frank R. Mccoy.
The United States government
likewise refused to recognize the
fruits of Japan's militarism in
Manchuria. But Japan, ap-
parently cares little - she has
Manchuria now and, from all in
dicationS, intends to keep it.
Never before has nation been
placed on trial before the world,
accused of international robbery,
as Japan will be at the forthcom-
ing momentous session of the
League of Nations, as the following
summary shows.
Japan is accused of violating
u three great international treaties
which bind the leading nations of
the world, each of which Japan
signed.
These treaties are:
l. The nine-power Pacific treaty,
signed at the Washington arms
conference of 1922, which guaran-
tees the integrity of China.
2. The kellogg BRAND treaty to
outlaw war by pledging nations to
abolish war as national policy.
3. The covenant of the League of
Nations, an instrument for settling
disputes between member nations
without application to force and
which calls for mutual consent in
the readjuStment of boundaries.
TAPAN'S defense follows:
y l. With regard to the nine
power Pacific treaty, the japanese
reply that conditions in China had
become SO impossible that Japan
her neighbor, was compelled to
take action to protect Japanese in
terests. (The United States po-
sition is that when Japan signed
this treaty she was well aware OF
the unfortunate conditions in China
and the fact that conditions may
have grown worse can not be used
as an excuse for violation)
2. With regard to the Kellogg
BRAND pact, the japanese reply
that they have committed no vio-
lations; that their actions in Man
churia were in self-defense, and in
accord with reservations made by
leading countries. ct now is to be
determined whether Japan acted in
self defenSe.)
8. With regard to the covenant

lust little less than a year ago,
- the long-nosed guns of Japan's
navy were hurting shells on Shang-
hal, japanese machine gun crews
were sweeping through the streets
of the terror stricken Chinese sec
ton and japanese airmen were
dropping bombs on the smoking
ruins, to complete the picture of
death and destruction.
What has happened since that
time, when Japan defied the world
to inflict a terrible object lesson on
feeble China for daring to boycott
Japanese-made goods?
In the months that have elapsed,
this small but militantly aggressive
island empire completely has over
run China's rich province of Man
churia and set up there, under the
protection of japanese bayonets, the

Continuing its policy of expansion
by conquest, Nippon has taken, by
force of arms, China's richest re-

DISTRICT TO SEEK
BOUNDARY CHANGE
Asks Maryland for Permis.
sion to Move Marker in
Police Dispute.

The District Highway Department to-
day asked Maryland officials for per-
mission to move boundary marker,
near the intersection of Eastern avenue
and Rhode Island avenue northeast, in
a final effort to clear up doubt on the
part Of policemen of the fifth precinct
as to the exact location OF the District
line.
A question over jurisdiction arose sew
eral weeks ago when fifth precinct Of
fiCers arrested a score of motorists for
failing to stop behind street car while
1t was taking on passengers at the Dis
trict line stop. One Of the victims in
sisted the car stop was in Maryland,
where Washington police had no juris-
diction. An investigation by Highway
Department officials and Inspector E.
w. Brown, In charge of the Traffic Bu-
reau, proved the drivers contention
Not only did the check-up show the
car stop is in Maryland, but it also re-
vealed the boundary marker had been
misplaced-that 1t was about 20 feet
behind the Maryland line. Maryland
authorities erected the marker, but Dis
trict officials are willing to move it to
its proper place, if permission is given.
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst. director of
highways, believes an artistic and
clearly defined boundary marker should
be erected at the District line, but
District officials are without funds for
this work
Eastern avenue, which parallels the
Maryland-District line on the east also
is slightly of line in the vicinity of
Rhode Island avenue, but highway off,
cials have planned to correct this con-
dition in the near future when the
roadway of Eastern avenue Is improved.
