CRITICAL SITUATION.
THE League's decision to invite an American repre
sentative to attend the meetings of Council an fhe Manchuria dispute in the face of strenuous Japanese opposition appears clearly, if temporarily, to have intensified the atmosphere of crisis at Geneva.
The British Government has decided to take im-` mediate action and Sir Miles Lampson, at Nanking, and Sir Francis Lindley, at Tokyo, have been instructed to make verbal representations to the Chinese and Japanese Governments, reminding them of their obliga- tions under the Kellogg Pact. Other signatories are! expected to follow suit.
Nevertheless, the prospect of the application of Article Sixteen of the League Covenant to an "offender" is regarded as highly remote at this stage, and, to say the least, the suggestion that the British Navy may be asked to co-operate in enforcing an economic blockade is distinctly premature and ill-timed.
THE IMPLICATIONS OF ARTICLE 16,

"The High Contracting Par- ties agree that the settlement or solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or
whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them. shall never be suught except by pacific means."
