JAPAN WON'T DROP
MANCHUKUO POLICY
Emphatic "No" to Be Tokio'S
Answer to Leagues
Proposal.

TOXIC, February l0.-An official
statement that Japan will reply with
an emphatic "No" to a League of Ma
tions' request for statement of Japan's
attitude toward discontinuance Of the
present Manchukuo government was
partially qualified later today.
Our negative reply Is almost fore
gone conclusion, but we must proceed
with the utmost prudence" said a gov
ernment spokesman.
Foreign Minister Yasyua Uchida to-
day instructed Yosuke Matsuoka, the
special japanese counsel at Geneva, to
submit the draft of his reply to the
League Committee of Nineteen to Toxic
before handing it to the League off,
cials.
Hence Japan's answer is likely to be
postponed two or three days while the
cabinet studies the matter,
None Of Leagues Business.
Japan stands irrevocably for main
tanning that Japanese sponsored govern
ment in Manchuria, a government
spokesman said today. He declared
further that Chinese sovereignty In
Manchuria Is ended forever, notwith-
standing reports that the League pro-
poses to insist on Chinese rights to
exercise this sovereignty.
League request as to whether Japan
would promise not to extend its military
operations into Jehol Province brought
forceful comment in the japanese
war oftce that "it's none of the Leagues
business"
Japan has made no secret of its plans
to annex the Chinese-administer
province Of Jehol to Manchukuo before
summer. The driving of 1000 Chinese
troops from Jehol into Fengtien Prov
ince. Manchuria, was described by the
war offlce as a police function The
japanese Army was thereby acting as
the agent for the Manchukuo govern
ment. the spokesman said.
CThe League Committee of Nineteen
asked written reply to its uuerv re-
garding continuance of the Manchukuo
regime. It asked the japanese delegate
informally to learn if Japan would stay
out OF Jehol. The committee took the
view any conc1liatory settlement of the
Manchur1an issue must be prefaced by
Japanese acknowledgment of Chinese
sovereignty and agreement to change
the government in Manchuria.)
. A foreign office spokesman said the
Leagues inquiry was tantamount to re-
lection Of Japan's latest Cancellation
of1er. This meant the League would
proceed In making its own report and
concerning the Manchurian issue. The
nature OF this report will decide whether
Japan Withdraws from the League.
Meanwhile the foreign office declared

MATsUoKA COMING HERE.
Japenese Delegate to Geneva Expected
to Confer With Roosevelt.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Yosuke Matsuoka, the leader of the
japanese delegation at Geneva, will
visit the United States On his way back
to Japan in order to have a talk with
President Roosevelt, it was learned in
diplomatic quarters today.
The visit Of Mr.. Matsuoka to the
United States is being sponsored by the
japanese societies in the United States,
who are worried about the American
japanese relations and hope that Mr..
Roosevelt may look upon the Far East
ern situation from a different angle
than the present administration.
There are indications that the JAP
anese government will not oppose this
visit; as matter of fact it is reported
that the foreign Office is in favor of
Matsuoka having heart to heart talk
with the new President of the United
States, but is not quite certain yet
whether such step will meet with the
approval of the war office
Japanese Worried.
What the japanese diplomat could
say to change present policies of the
United States in the Far East Is natu-
rally unknown.
Mr. Roosevelt has already expressed
his full endorsement of the Hoover doc
trine Of non-recognition CT any terri
torial acquisitions by the force of arms.
and 1t is highly doubtful that he will
reverse national policy which he has
already fully approved.

flanf attitude tho -

take after they leave the League of
Nations
There are obvious indications that
the Chinese and the Russians have
nnally concluded an offensive defensive
alhance; Furthermore, the Japanese be-
lieve that the question of recognition of
| the Soviet government by the United
States will be matter CT months after
the Inauguration Of President Roosevelt.
Foresee Difficulty.
Such a recognition would make things
difficult for Japan in the Far East. be-
cause Russis's credit in the United
States would be good again and the
Soviet government will be in a position
/ to purchase here all the necessary war
material she had to purchase hitherto
IN Europe and transport by the Trans
Siberian railway to Siberia.
1t Is true that by that time the bill

1t is believed Mr.. Roosevelt win not
