_ _____» i THE LYTTON REPORT. I ' RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE | I COMMISSION. i Tiic Lvlloii report on the Man- j ehurirm (|iiestion was regarded at Geneva ns being distinctly favourable to China. Tito principal recommendation was the establishment of a Chinese-Japanese Advisory Conference with neutral observers to solve the problems, subject to the maintenance j of China's sovereign rights. The Commission's recommendations iii- | eluded:— (1) A settlement subject to the League's principles and Soviet approval, and in conformation with the Covenant of the League, the Kcllogg Pact, and the Nine-Power Treaty. f2) Japan's rights and interests in Manchuria must be recognised, and the respective rights, interests, and responsibilities must bo restated in new treaties. (3) If future friction is to be avoided the Manchurian Government must bo modified to make it consistent with China's sovereignty and administrative integrity, and to enable considerable autonomy. (4) International order should be i secured by effective gendarmerie. All other forces should be ■withdrawn. I (■o) The interested countries should J conclude a treaty of non-aggression with , China and I'apan. (6) China's political instability vitally concerns the world, and accordingly temporary international co-opera-tion to reconstruct China is fundamental to the requisite solution. The report recommended the League Council to invite China and Japan to discuss a solution, and afterwards summon the Chinose-Japancao Advisory Con- / ference, with representatives of the local population, to recommend a Constitution for the three Eastern Provinces. DEFENCE OF JAPAN'S | ACTION. I i BOYCOTT WOULD MEAN WAR. j LONDON, November 20. j The "Daily Mail," in a leading! article, says: — j "Japan's reply, which the League Council will consider to-morrow, demonstrates that right is on her side. Jt | i:-; absurd to imagine that a strong control Government in China is possible without iuimcnso delay. Japan will never tamely surrender her rights, because Manchukuo will relapse into a'nii'rchv, and ultimately fall into the ' hands of the Soviet, like Mongolia. ' '"The British boycott of Japan, any- ' L'vyted by cranks siding with the Chinese \\;:r Lords and Communists, would mean ; war for Great Britain against every j British interest and ideal. "The bellicose pacifists nt Geneva < must understand that Great Britain will not be dragged Into war with Japan, whose mission in Manchuria is civilising and humanising."
