RESPONSIBILITY ISSUE.
Nanking, Mar. 15. ; The Foreign Office has in- tructed Mr. W. W. Yen to call the League Assembly's attention to three points, nomely.
(1) That a settlement of the Sino-Japanese dispute cannot be made under mili tary pressuro.
(2) That the League Members are under an obligation to submit dis- putes for peaceful settle- ment and that since China followed this procedure she is unable to assume any responsibility for the pre- sent state of affairs in Shanghai and Manchuria.
(3) China regards the League Assembly resolu- tion, which does not re- cognise agreements con- cluded or situations created in violation of the Coven- ant or the Paris Pact in- cluding the puppet govern- ment in Manchuria, which is infringing upon the ter- ritorial and political in- tegrity of China.-Reuter.
