JAPAN REJECTS LYTTON REPORT FINDINGS Striking Conflict of Opinion Shown in British Quarters
M.C.C. COLLAPSE
AUSTRALIA FIND
A BOWLER
NAGEL, 6 FOR 21
A MORNING OF SENSATION
Melbourne, Nov. 21. Nagel, the comparatively little known fast-medium bowler, who was brought into the Australian eloven at the last moment, brought off a sensationally bril liant feat this morning, sending back six of the M.C.C., batsmen at a cost of 21 runs.
There was nothing to fore- shadow the remarkable M.C.C. collapse. The Australians did not last long on resuming with 216 on the board and one wicket to fall. In fact, they were all out after two rune had been added.
The wicket, however, was soon playing traditional pre-lunch tricks. The M.C.C. appeared to be in a fairly strong position with a lend of 64 runs on a somewhat diffi- cult wicket, but within half-an- hour, they had their backs to the wall in rent earnest.

CHURIA IS VERY RAPIDLY MOVING TO- WARDS A CRISIS.
GENEVA, NOV. 21.
It is feared that a real clash will come this morning when, at eleven o'clock, the League Council will begin its debate on the Lytton Report.
Mr. Matsuoka will introduce the subject by explain- ing the Japanese position and Dr. Wellington Koo, who was China's observer on the Lytton Commission, will reply.
The observations of both parties will probably be referred to the Lytton Commission for comment, but the subsequent course of events is most uncertain,
An air of pessimism prevails in Geneva, however, in view of the Japanese rejection of the Lytton Report and Dr. W. W. Yen's fighting speech in which he hinted that China would invoke Article XVI, providing for sane- tions, which would seem practically to rule out the possibility of conciliatory action by the Council under Article XI of the Covenant. The Council therefore will have no alternative but to refer the Report to the Assembly Commission of Nineteen, which has always shown more vigour in insisting on the letter of the Covenant than can be claimed for the Council.
