JAPAN'S CASE IN 'MANCHURIA.

Argument Before the League's Decision.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET.

}

Tokyo, Oct. 16. It is reported that the Council of the League of Nations and the United States, taking the opportunity of the Japanese bombardment of Chinchow, are starting again their activities on the Manchurian situation, but as one of those who are "n- Ixious to see that the situation should not be more complicated and settled as easily as possible, Baron Funagoshi, a prominent member of the House of Peers, said that he wished the Council of the League of Nations and the United States, to take the matter into full consideration, Baron Tunagoshi outlined his views as follows:

1. For anyone who is well aware of the truth about the movements of the Japanese troops can easily understand that Japan has no territorial am- bitions in this connection.

2. Japan is known as a coun- try of justice and her chivalry requires as her premier motto: "Good Faith," and the Baron hopes that the Council of the League of Nations by regarding the entire situation in a cool and calm manner, will study careful- ly the real facts which led up to the clash.

3. The Japanese troops in Manchuria are a little more than 10,000 facing more than 200,000 Chinese troops, and morcover, there are the Chinese, bandits which are a continual menace and danger, together with the leaderless and defeated Chinese troops. Therefore, if Japan withdraws her troops and leaves the situation as it is, these Chin- ese bandits, along with the leader- lens armies, will take advantage of the situation, and under such conditions, who can possibly guarantee that there will not be a repetition of the former Boxer uprising?

4. The Baron opines to the. belief that not only one of the

forces which number about 200,000, are maintaining peace and order in the railway zone extending over auch a vast and large area." No Understanding.

In conclusion, the Baron said that the actual problem can be easily settled, if the Council of the League of Nations, and any other party, clearly understand the truth about the present Sino- Japanese clash, and will also penetrate into the underhand methods of the Chinese who use third party, like the League of Nations, in order to cover up her own faults.-Japanese Informa- tion Burenu.
