MANCHUKUO
"--LONDON
LONDON, Sept. 10,
ONLY the Times and the Manchester Guardian give lendera
on the Japanese recognition of Manchukue.
The Times writes, it is unlikely that Japan'a example will be followed for the present by any other Government and points out all the advantages for which Japanese enterprise won sanction in Manchuria ty treaty, but which were habitually contested and whittled down by Chinese official chicanery but have now been made Recure by the Protocol. Japan' brought about this result by states- manship of pre-war order, and it is idle to conceal the challenge involved to the principles of the League and the Kellog Pact and other treaties to which Japan is a signatory.
Commenting on the Japanese explanatory stutement that Man- chukuo is opening the interior for all foreigners, the Times observes that British opinion is more impressed by the fact that British subjects not desiring to visit the interior are being carried thither by bandits and that outrages on travellers on railways are so flagrant and frequent that night journeys have been pro hibited.
POLICY ALREADY CONDEMNED
The who's Japanese policy in Manchukuo has unquestionably been pursued without too nice a regard for obligations, and already has heen condemned by Mr. Stimson and a resolution by the League.
It would, nevertheless, be a mistake to holl Japan to oppro brium before all facts are revealed by the Lytton Report. THE SHANGHAI INCIDENT
What Japan did at Shanghai found little support in Britain, but her position in Manchuria is very different. Japanese ceon- omic interests there are vital to the prosperity of the nation. She saved Manchuria from Russia, protected it from chaos and anarchy beating other parts of China. She Argitimately acquir. ed economic rights which were illegitimately obstructed by Chinese, but she failed through long patient years to obtain redress.
Japan's action in Manchukuo finds approval in the eyes of the Evening News, the popular evening paper controlled by the Press magnate. Lord Rothermere,
PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT MANCHURIA
It says "the plain truth about Manchuria is that unless they find their commercial interests in Manchuria too crudely mentced, other nations concerned are not prepared to quarrel openly with Japan about what has been done however much they may dis- like the doing of it or whatever apprehensions they may enter- tain of the future.
"It is unbelievable that the average Manchu is suffering patriotic pangs over the loss of Chinese citizenship in view of his past experiences."
Clearly, Manchukuo is going to be fit to live in, just as If they long as Japanese administrators and troops make it so. do make it so, if this large segment of Asin is reduced by their efforts to & Leasonable state of productive tranquillity, the world generally, no matter what its apprehensive diplomats and pro- . fessional internationalista may think, will say "Let them get on with it.'
SECRET OF JAPAN'S' SUCCESS
Be 18, Sept. Te..
A rally to the Japanese standpoint is indicated by a comment in the Democratic Boersen Courier which declares, The secret success of Japan's policy by conquest is that Japan is more able to guarantes more peaceful and more progrescive development in Manchuria than could be guaranteed in the rest of China where. other Imperialistic Powers are exercising a predominating in- Auence."
In summing up the events, the paper comes to conclusion that nothing but brutal superior force can.shake the Japanese stand- point and that the world must accept as an accomplished fact the establishment of Manchukuo."
