It is reliably learned that it has been practically decided to call together the Conimitee of Nineteen on Monday and that the Assembly of the League will be convened to deal with the Man- churia dispute a fortnight hence.

The belief prevails that the League Assembly will eventually adopt a resolution declining re- cognition of Manchakuo, thus directly or by implication

DRAFTING BRITAIN'S SECOND WAR DEBT NOTE TO THE UNITED STATES.
Persistent rumour has it that there is a big conflict in the Cabinet itself regarding the procedure to be adopted and that to-day's full meeting may lead to the biggest crisis of the year. Financial interests assert that a large transfer of capital to the United States could only be effected with the greatest difficulty and would, in any case, be disastrous to British interests.
The probabilities are that the Cabinet will agree to the text of the second Note to be sent to America and that the real battle-apparently between those opposed to payment and those who urge payment at any sacrifice -will not eventuate unless America again presents Britain with a refusal to consider the suspension of the December instalment.
