FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS
The militarist methods of Japan cannot be reconciled with the principles of the League, which has no choice but to reject them
The League is not in a position to impose the settlement which has been drawn up, but all the members of the Lengue are bound to do all in their power to further its ultimate triumph,
In the meantime, their plain duty is to refuse help in any way to a country engaged in trying to impose a settlement of its own.
Government licences for the ex- port of arms should at least be withheld during the present dis- pule from all consignments of arms and ammunition destined for Japan.-Reuter.
