JAPAN'S POLICY IN MANCHURIA INVASION OR JEHOL GENERAL SANJURJO
DENIAL OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS POWER TO CHALLENGE HER ACTIONS
Early Recognition of Manchukuo
* Promised
FRANK PRONOUNCEMENT BY JAPANESE FOREIGN MINISTER.
COUNT UCHIDA, the Japanese Foreign Minister, in the course of a most important statement to the Imperial. Diet, Tokyo, yesterday, announced that Japan intended to re. cognise the new state of Manchukuo, and would not admit that any foreign power had the right to intervene in Manchuria.
Coput Uchida declared that Japan's intervention la Manchuria constituted no breach of the Kellog Briand Pact and did not need recourse to the League of Nations. The Manchurian people, he said, had chosen to throw off the yoke of Chang Hauch Linng. and had no wish to be drawn into the turmoil of China Proper. They bad, therefore, set up an independent Government, and, while Japan was assisting in the diicult early stages, she had no intention of annexing Manchuria.
We are indebted 'for the text of Count Uchida's address to the local Japanese Consulate General.
