LEAGUE'S WORST REBUFF.
REPLY FROM JAPAN. BLAME LAID ON CHINESE. - WAR NOT DESIRED. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received February 2G, 12.15 a.m.) LONDON. Feb. 25. A message from Geneva says Japan has handed a reply to the League of Nations reiterating her view that the appeal issued bv the 12 members of the. Council should have been made to China. "The League's worst rebuff," is how the London newspapers describe the Japanese reply. Japan contends that her action is strictly defensive, and that the Chinese are the attackers. Japan, says the reply, neither favours nor desires war. If the Powers succeed in bringing about a pacific attitude on the part of China nowhere will there be more sincere delight felt than in Japan.
