TOKYO, AUG. 25. [APAN CAN NEVER CONSENT TO ANY SOLUTION OF THE MANCHURIAN PROBLEM WHICH SEEKS TO INVEST CHINA PROPER WITH AUTHORITY OVER MANCHURIA, DECLARED- COUNT UCHIDA, FOREIGN MINISTER, IN HIS EAGERLY- AWAITED STATEMENT OF POLICY TO THE IMPERIAL DIET THIS MORNING.
Japan intends to extend formal recognition to Manchukuo as soon as "vari- ous arrangements” have been completed, denies that such recognition will con- stitute a breach of the Nine-Power Treaty, and will brook no interference. Those who seek to place upon Japan the responsibility for the Manchurian re- volution, said Count Uchida, by tracing, the independence of Manchukuo directly to Japanese military operations, simply labour under ignorance of the facts and their opinions altogether miss the point. Those who misconstrue the presence of Japanese in the Manchukuo Government are placing responsibility where it does not belong.
{
Count Uchida also predicted that further complications are likely to arise in the foreign relations of China, declaring that to allow present conditions to persist "will constitute a constant danger of bringing about a serious menace to the rights and interests of foreign Powers."

LEGAL FIGHT FOR CHENG'S LIFE
JUDGE'S DECISIONS
CHALLENGED
CASE SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE TO JURY
THE FIRST STAGE IN THE LEGAL FIGHT FOR THE LIFE OF CHENG KWOK-YAU, CONVICTED YESTERDAY AS AN ACCESSORY TO THE MUR- DER OF GEORGE FUNG, OPENED BEFORE SIR JOSEPH KEMP, CHIEF JÚSTICE, THIS MORNING. LARGE CROWDS THRONGED THE COURT AND CORRIDORS.
ר
Cheng Kwok-yau was committed to prison pending the result of the arguments for the quashing of the conviction submitted by counsel for the defence.
Points of law submitted for argument concern the admissibility of the evidence of Zimmern and Christie, in connexion with which His Lordship's summing-up is challenged, and the issue of whether there was a case to go to the jury. The defence contends that the learn ed Chief Justice was wrong in refusing to withdraw the case from the jury.
The hearing of argument was fixed for Monday next before the Chief Justice and the Puisne Judge.
