LYTTON REPORT
MANCHURIAN QUESTION INTENSE INTEREST IN AMERICA POLICY NOT INDICATED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.20 p.m.) Washington, October 6. Although the State Department has officially remained silent regarding the Lytton report, it is unofficially i ecognized here that no international question since the World War holds a greater interest for the nation. The question of the United States’ representation when the League Council considers the report is still unanswered, but according to London Press renorts the Earl of Lytton to-day cited pronouncements’’ by Mr H. L. Stimson, Secretary of State, which appear to bind the United States to consultation. It is recalled that Mr Stimson in a speech early in August contended that consultation was provided for in the Briand-Kellogg Pact. Reports from abroad indicate that this statement was accepted as a distinct change of attitude on the part of the United States. However, whether Mr Stimson meant consultation with the League or with several countries independently is problematical.
