MANCHURIAN DISPUTE
Arbitration by Committee SIR JOHN SIMON’S PLAN London, Dec. 13. The “Sun” Agency learns that the Foreign Secretary, Sir John Simon, privately communicated with Tokio urging Japan to agree that the Manchurian dispute be arbitrated upon by a special conciliation committee which would meet in a calmer atmosphere than the Committee of Nineteen. The first news of the proposal was contained in this morning's Tokio and Geneva messages announcing Japan’s rejection of it. It is now expected that the Committee of Nineteen will proceed according to programme. A message published yesterday stated that the Japanese Government had instructed the Japanese delegation at Geneva to decline to participate in the proposed Manchurian Conciliation Committee. Japan objected to the application of Article 15, and declared that it would be impossible for the proposed committee of nineteen to arrive at an equitable decision on such a complicated situation. She also denied the propriety ot nny application of sanctions.
