HARIS.-A crisis appears definitely
- to have been reached in the
League Of Nations handling of
i the Sino-Japanese conflict.
The convenient fiction that
what has happened in Manchuria and
other parts of China is not war or ag-
gression or invasion, but merely dis
pute, is still maintained. But the con-
ciliation procedure which the League
apply ever since September 18, 1881,
now seems virtually exhausted.
The chances are that, still under the
theory that the trouble is mere dis
pute. the League must now move on
from paragraph to paragraph 4,
article Is, of the League covenant, and
draft a report and recommendations
without regard to the views of Japan
and China, after which, If the report
Is unanimous, the League members
agree not to 90 to war with the party
which accepts the recommendations
and, If the report Is merely majority
one. each nation regains its freedom
of action.
Hole In the Covenant"
This latter alternative is the famous
hole in the covenant" seemingly au-
thorizing war in certain circumstances.
Under mere majority solution, Japan
would thus seemingly regain its right
to make war on China.
But, despite this prospect, Japan
appears to be displeased. If the recon-
mendations. even those merely by ma
iority, tend In any respect to condemn
Japan's action or tend to interfere with
Japan's desire to bring about settle
r. 80
negotiations, japan intends apparently
to manifest its disapproval. not by quit
ting the League, but by following the
Argentine precedent and boycotting
the League for certain length of time.
1t is estimated In some quarters that
Japan's hesitation actually to quit the
League and join the United States and
Russia in being non-members is due to
the fear that it might thus lose the
mandate over the former German
islands in the South Pacific. It is
suspected by some members of the
Leagues Mandates Commission that
Japan, contrary to the Leagues regu-
lations. has been equipping certain parts
Of these islands as submarine bases
No proof has heretofore been available
because the Japanese allow nobody to
go to see whether this IS so.
In any case, this correspondent
learns. according to the Japanese view
point, wherein the japanese claim they
have British support, that Japan's man
date derives directly from the treaty
Of Versailles and, except for the filing
Of occasional unchecked reports, is not
subject to League jurisdiction.
For the recent slight stiffening of the
Leagues attitude against Japan the
latter tends to blame the United States
The joint representations made last
