and Japan. the purpose Of the United
States has conceded in general with
that OF the League Of Nations. the
common objective being maintenance
Of peace and settlement Of international
Of that objective, while the League Of
Nations has been exercising jurisdiction
over . controversy between two of its
members. the Government of the
United States has endeavored to give
support, reserving to itself independ-
ence Of judgment with regard to method
and scope, to the efforts OF the League
on behalf Of peace.
Agrees With Conclusions.
The findings Of fact arrived at by the
League and the understanding Of the
facts derived by the American Govern
ment from reports made to it by its own
Representatives are in substantial &C.
cord. In the light Of its findings OF
fact. the Assembly Of the League hal
formulated q measured statement OF
conclusions. With those conclusions the
American Government is in general ac-
cord. In their afirmations respectively
of the principle Of non-recogniticn and
their attitude in regard thereto the
League and the United States are on
common ground.
The League has recommended princi-
pies Of settlement. In 50 far as appro-
pirate under the treaties to which it Il
q party. the American Government ex-
presses its general Endorsement Of the
principles thus recommended.
The American Government earnestly
hopes that the two nations now en-
gagged in controversy. both of which
have long been in friendly relationship
with our own and other peoples, may
find it possible, In the light Of the now
clear expression Of world opinion, to
