Tokyo, Feb. 13.
The Foreign Office has completed the draft of its negative reply to the League's enquiry for a definite answer whether she would unequivocably accept the pro- position that the existing regime in Manchukuo does not constitute a solution of the Sino-Japanese problem.
While Japan has been delaying her reply, the Com- mittee of Nine has continued its task of drawing up recommendations, which are now complete and con- demnatory of Japan. Japan's reply could only make a difference If it were favourable, and it is fairly well known to be unfavourable.
It is anticipated that the reply will be submitted to a full meeting of the Cabinet this afternoon and des- patched to Geneva this evening.
It is reported that the reply in OFFICERS -MOUNT GUARD.
