According to the journal, the in- tervention of Col. Henry L. Stim-. on the U.S. Secretary of State, offers more danger than benefit since if the United States forsakes its isolation policy and intervenes in world affairs, it will naturally ex pect England to follow her and in thin the journal sees a threat to the peace of the Empire aince it does not doubt that the Lytton Re- port will be unfavourable to Japan and that the publication of this decanent might lead to the with drawal of Japan from the League.
This withdrawal will once more cause to be brought up the question of Japan's Mandates in the Pacific, a question which will not fail to arouse American public opinion. It is on account of the fear of con- sequences of the Sino-Japanese conflict and their roporcussions in America that the journal counsels the complete non-intervention as most prudent course to follow un- der the circumstances.
