IMPORTANT DEBATE ON LYTTON REPORT
THE MANCHURIAN
CANKER
London, Nov. 2.
THE ATTITUDE OF THE BRITISH GOVERN- MENT towards the findings of the Lytton Com- mission in their Report on the Manchurian dispute was sought by Lord Ponsonby, Leader of the Opposition, initiating a debate on Manchuria in the House of Lords
this afternoon.
Speakers included the Earl of Lytton, Lord Cecil of Chelwood, Lord Allen, Lord Lothian and Lord Hail- sham. The request was declined, the Earl of Lytton, pointing out that nothing could be done by the League effectively without unanimity and that unanimity could ...not be secured if each and every nation committed itself
in advance to a line of policy.....
He suggested that Sir John Simon take the Lytton Report to Geneva with him as his brief.

FATE OF JAPANESE MEN DOUBTFUL
Habirn, Nov. 8.
Many of the Japanese women and children who were trapped in Manchull by the mutiny of the Manchukuo garrison have escaped.
Thla comforting
news, Arst rumoured a few days ago, has been defnitely confirmed. The latest reports state that many women and children were permitted to leave Manchuli for Matzievsky in Soviet territory, from where they are on their way to Japan, travelling on the Amur Railway to Vladivostock.
This sets at rest fears long entertained for their safety.
The fate of the Japanese menfolk is, however, still o matter of doubt and fears,
At the time whon Su Ping-wen rebelled against the Manchukuo Government and his troops throw in their lot with the Chinese anti- Manchukuo Volunteer forces, cap- turing Manchuli, Hallar and Bev- eral other important centres, there were nearly three hundred Jay- anese residents in Manchuli.
