MAY LEAVE THE LEAGUE
POSSIBLE JAPANESE ACTION DISPUTE OVER MANCHURIA REFUSAL TO WITHDRAW. IRISH DELEGATE’S. ATTACK. (United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) Received 2 p.m to-day. LONDON, Dec. 6. The “Daily Telegraph”, correspondent at Geneva; says that well informed circles believe that unless a miracle occurs Japan will next week express her intention of leaving the League of Nations owing to the uncompromising nature of to-day’s speeches. Japan does not want to leave the League, but has no intention of withdrawing from Manchuria. At Geneva, Senator Connolly, the Irish delegate, emphasising his refusal to recognise Iviancnukuo, said the Free State was naturally opposed to Imperialistic expansion and the exploitation of peoples. If the League faltered or hesitated, fearing action in case it might offend, it did not- deserve to survive. Unless they were prepared to repudiate the Lytton Report which revealed that Japan had infringed the League Covenant, the Kellogg Pact and the Nine Power Treaty, the countries represented at the assembly must refuse to recognise Alanohukuo, Otherwise the League’s integrity could not be maintained.
