These facts, he said, are undis- puted. From the outset China had the choice be- tween preparing her own defence and placing faith in treaties and the League. China, not being military power, appealed to the Lesque.

JAPANESE PROMISE BROKEN.

Mr. Yen added, that the council had patiently and earnestly devoted six weeks and twenty meetings to a conscientious effort to adjust the dispute, and two resolutions had been unanimously adopt- ed, both based upon the solemn Japanese promise to withdraw her troops as rapidly as possible. This promise had been broken.

Continuing, Mr. Yen said, that instead of progressive withdrawal, there had been progressive advance since the Council adjourned six weeks ago.

Aggression had been relentlessly pursued, until, in the words of the American Secretary of State, the last remaining ad- ministrative authority of the Chinese Government in Southern Man- churia had been destroyed, and Chinchow, with territories to the South. including Shankaikwan, now followed by Mukden, Shangchun, Antung, Kirin.
