M. BRIAND'S LATEST APPEAL.
JAPAN ADAMANT.
THE LATEST TROOP movements by Japan in Manchuria have given rise to some uneasiness, but according to a statement made to the U.S. State Depart- ment by the Japanese Ambassador, no general advance is contemplated. It is added, in explanation, that the move now being undertaken is for the repair of bridges which have been blown up, in order to facilitate the transport of the soya bean crop.
China, în à communication to the League, asserts that the Japanese Army in Manchuria is pursuing a deliberate policy of trying to substitute for the authority of the Chinese Government various groups set up and maintained by the Japanese them- selves. In this connexion, attention is called to Japanese seizure of the salt revenues,
Meanwhile, Japan appears determined to adhere to her intention of negotiating on the "fundamental principles" before undertaking to withdraw her troops, the Foreign Minister · intimating to China that Japan's policy has auready been aet forth on the statement published on October 26th.
The text of M. Briand's letter to Mr. Yoshizawn on October 30th is now published. It is a lengthy ducument, in which it is suggested that Japan's Treaty rights in Monchuria are not in any way connected with the safety of the lives and property of Japanese nationals.
1. Briand says China has shown her determination to fulfil all her obligations under the League Covenant, and he feels confident that Japan will continue to withdraw her troops ne rapidly as possible.
