MANCHURIAN DISPUTE
THE LEAGUE’S ACHIEVEMENT. [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.] , RUGBY, October 26. Commenting on the Manchurian dispute, “The Times” says;-—“Even if the League of Nations has not settled in a few weeks a difference that has strained China-Japanese relations for many years, and has been acute for several months, it has helped to stay military operations. It has prevented complications that might have arisen if the problem had been treated by the interested Powers separately, instead of collectively round the same table, and has induced a more conciliatory temper. The League has not abandoned the principles for which it stands in international affairs, nor has it abandoned the conduct that is contrary to them. Its judgment now remains on record as the deliberate opinion of the highest arbitral body in the world, with the dissent of only one partisan member. In this complicated case the issues have had their roots in the events of the last 25 years and the right certainly is not all on one side; but the opinion of the League is that correct relations must be re-established between the two countries before their fundamental differences can be properly discussed.
