The resolution records "profound abhorrer.ce aroused by the barbaric slaughter of non-combatants with which Japan has sought to destroy the moral of the Chinese people" It notes "the acts of banditry which have marked international affairs during the past five years and the humiliating and useless tactics indulged in by the Govern- ment...

It continued: "This conference demands that the Government shall at once initiate steps to bring
the fullest possible economic pres- sure to bear on Japan. Having in mind that the British Empire and the United States of America, are Jointly responsible for supplying Japan with 60 per cent of her raw materials and buy from Japan 50 per cent of her exports, this con- ference calls for immediate action, in accordance with the Covenant of the League of Nations, to in- stitute such practical measures as will prevent the continuance of Japan's criminal acts in China. re-establish the prestige of in- ternational law, and prevent the world conflict which would result from the consistent success aggression."

There was only one way to deal with the menace of Japanese light Industry, and that was by prohibiting Japanese Imports in Great Britain and in any other country which would act with her.

A POLICY FOR GENEVA · "The people of this country," he said, "cannot too early make up their minds that we are going to create such a public opinion in this country that no matter what the Government in power, the time has arrived when the Prime Minister should go to Geneva and. say that we admit we have made mistakes in the past, but owing to the public opinion in our country we linave now to face the world and bring about a peace policy and a basis of economic co-opera- tlon.

The caretaker could not see anything to warrant its death. Later Miss Cook arrived and went with Mra. Munday to the stray cats' room and brought the cat out. It was put in the lethal chamber and chloroform was administered.
Miss Bourne, giving evidence, re- ferred to the cat as "my warrior," and said that he was known from one end of the road to the other. She had such an affection for animals that she had been a f vegetarian for 10 years.
