PROBABLY THE most aste nishing and audacious leaflet yet distributed by the Japanese military forces during the Sino- Japanese conflict was that which army planes dropped on Kuling on January 19, three days after the Japanese had bombed the mountain with high explosives. The document, printed English, was remarkable, both for its grammatiexl construction, and its "terms".
He became second secretary of the Landon Embassy, and attended the first League of Nations Assembly at Geneva in 1920.

In it, the Japanese alleged that the army and navy authorities, In con junellon with third Powers, had agreed that henceforth foreigners in Kullug hud forefeited their nation-- ality; that they were regarded as sympathisers of the Chiang Kai-shekt regune, and therefore would have to take the consequences of a Japanese! offensive against Kuling.

the Jewish Agency has decided to reject the British plan for the paci- fication of Palestine.
The proposals, which the British Government will submit to the Palestine conference to- morrow are understood to have been considered at a prolonged meeting of the Arab delegates last night.
'The main feature of the proposals. It is understood, will be the sugges- tion of a round table conference to be hold in the autumn on the lines of the round table conferences which pre- ceded the new constitutions in India and Egypt, and invitations to the conference will be issued by the King on behalf of the Government, not only to political representatives of Palestine and Britain, but also to constitutional experts,
It is suggested that the British representation also include members of the opposition parties, in order to place the future Palestine polley above party politics.
