London, Nov. 2. THE ATTITUDE OF THE BRITISH GOVERN. MENT towards the findings of the Lytton Con- 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.
