(Continued from Page D

Yosuke Matsuoka, clad in black, | walked from the hall. The crowded galleries broke into mingled misses and applause.
 Japan's formal resignation from the league is expected to be filed later.
 We are not coming back" Mat suoka said simply as he left the hall.
 The assembIy's report, recon mending that Japan withdraw her troops occupying Manchuria and restore the country to Chinese sovereignty, was adopted 42 to 1, Japan voting against it. Paul Fly mans, presiding, announced 1t was unanimous, since the vote of in- trested parties does not count. The session which made history, signifylng the final break between the league and one of the worlds major powers. was fairly brief and simple.
 AS the roll was called down the alphabetical list of nations, dele- gates after delegate voted for the resolution.
 When China was called. there was q slight stir of expectancy and w. w. Yen, Chinese delegate, firm ly answered.:
 "Yes."
 Japan was called few moments later. Matsuoka's decisive mo" could be clearly heard in all parts of the hall.
 Matsuoka, usually typifying the placid Oriental diplomat. was nerv- ous before he began his speech, and abandoned the text before he finished. He shouted from the rostrum:
 Japan will oppose any attempt at international control of Man. churia. It does not mean that we defy you, because Manchuria be- longs to us by right.

 ITO deny us this appeal will be a mistake. I ask you not to adopt this report" Matsuoka said ear. nestly. After the assembly vote had been taken Matsuoka announced "the Japanese government Is ob- liged to feel that they have now reached the limit of their endeav- ors to cooperate with the league regarding Sino-Japanese differen- ces.
 Tt is a source of profound re- gret and disappointment to the Japanese government that the draft report has now been adopted by this assembly. Japan has been q member of the league since it's inception. our delegates in past conferences participated in the drafting of the league covenant.
 We have been proud to be members, associated with the lead ing nations of the world in one of the grandest purposes In which humanity could unite. It has al- ways been our sincere wish and pleasure to cooperate with fellow members of the league. attaining the great aims held in common and long cherished by humanity.
