IF JAPS. WITHDRAW.
League May Endorse Lytton Report. FAR EAST DISPUTE. GENEVA, January 19. Although the Committee of Nineteen of the League of Nations which is dealing with the Sino-Japanese dispute over Manchuria has indicated that it is prepared to abandon co-opting the nonLeague Powers —America and Russia—if Japan agrees to the committee's terms, there is no expectation that Tokyo will withdraw its main contention. This is that the future of Manchukuo is bound up in the destiny of the Japanese people.
The rejection of the committee's proposals will involve a breach with the League. If the committee fails to come to an agreement with Japan a report will be drawn up stating the facts and making recommendations which Sir John Simon, British Foreign Secretary, has indicated probably will be an endorsement of the Lytton. Commission's iindings. Japan's withdrawal from the League would only be effective after two years' notice had been given and the League has full authority to deal with the SinoJapanese dispute, even if Japan serves notice of her withdrawal. MILK VENDORS FINED.
WARNING BY MAGISTRATE. "Shopkeepers who sell milk sliould see that milk is kept in a condition which is not detrimental to customers," said Mr. W. E. McKean, S.M., in the Police Court this morning, in fining two milk vendors £1 and costs for a breach of the Sale of Foods and Drugs Act. On behalf of May Andrews, the first to be charged, Mr. Burton said defendant obtained the milk from a big milk company. There was no.suggestion that the milk was bad. , "The Department is not concerned about the question of penalty in these two cases," said Inspector Furness, of the Health Department. "It is the publicity we want concerning the question of storage of milk, which should be kept in a cool place, so that it remains'fresh. This particular sample only kept fresh one hour on being tested, whereas other milk taken from the same suppliers kept- nine hours." On behalf of Alfred Herman Gadd, Mr. C. A. Snedden said that his client did nt keep milk bought overnight. The night before the sample was taken by the inspector was a particularly hot night. In imposing a fine of £1 and costs, the magistrate said that if there were any more of these cases the penalties would be increased.
