Contrary to the general pessimism regarding the outcome of the League reassembling on November 16, official circles appear to consider that the prospects are not bad, provided, the League does not try to rush matieri...
The result of Japan's intention to clarify the history of the present. crisis and present a list of China's principal infringements and violations of her treaties, it is thought the League may come to realise that only foreigners are able to give China an honest government, conse quently it will be necessary to devise some form of permanent foreign supervision in China for the purpose of ensuring peace, order, good government and respect for her treaties,
It China is really sincere in her protestations and faith in the League it is emphasised she will readily concur.
