JAPAN AND MANDATES
THE RIGHT TO EXPORT GOODS.
PROVISIONS OF THE TREATIES
United Press Association—Copyright) GENEVA, October 28. Speaking before the Mandates Commission, Marquis Ito (Japanese Minister to Poland), contended that Japan, like the United States, was entitled to export goods to mandated territories on an equal footing with members of the League. Japan was one of the Powers to which mandates had been delivered by the peace treaties, and enjoyed the rights the League could not take away. Marquis Ito hinted that Japan might cease to collaborate with the League if it discriminated against Japan, which thus far had collaborated with the Mandates Commission, understanding that the League respected the treaty provisions governing mandates.
EVASION OF QUESTIONS.
TERRITORIES IN THE PACIFIC.
(Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) GENEVA, October 29.
The Mandates Commission fruitlessly examined Marquess Ito in search of information regarding Japan’s mandated territories in the Pacific. Marquis Ito denied that they were fortified and cleamed that the expenditure on harbours was not excessive. ■ He evaded questions concerning their strategic value.
The Commission referred to the League Council Japan’s claim, regarding the export of goods to mandated territories.
