GENEVA, October 29
The Mandates Commission fruitlessly examined Mr. Nobufumi Up in search of information regarding Japan's mandated territories in the Pacific. Mr. Ito denied that they were fortified, and claimed that the expenditure on harbours was not excessive. He evaded questions of strategic value. The Commission referred to the League Council Japan's claim concerning the export of goods to mandated territories.
A cable received yesterday stated that, addressing the Mandates Commission, Mr. Jto contended that Japan, like the United States, was entitled to export goods to mandated .territories on an equal footing with League members. Japan was one of the Powers to which mandates had been delivered by.peace treaties, he said, and enjoyed rights which the League ,could not take away. He hinted that Japan might cease to collaborate with the League if it discriminated against Japan. So far Japan had collaborated with the Mandates Commission .on the understanding that -the League respect ed the treaty provisions governing mandates.
