MANCHURIA COMMISSION PEIPING, 9th June. “Witnesses were prevented from coining openly to see us and had to meet ms secretly at tho risk of their lives, said Lord Lytlon, who returned last might after six weeks’ investigations in Manchuria as chairman of the League of Nations'Commission, and who expressed keen satisfaction that in the face of considerable difficulties it had been possible to hear both sides.
“We succeeded,” he said, “in interviewing a great many Chinese and not less than 2000 written Chinese communication came into our hands. I think it may be said that wo obtained all the information necessary to understand the facts of the present situation and the events which took place on and after 18th September last.” Regarding Russo-Japanese relations, Lord Lyttoii said that as far as the commission’s observations went, the position appeared to be very much easier now than six weeks ago.
