Pessimism is expressed in

Italy at the prospects of a settle-

ment of the Manchurian problem by the League of Nations which, 30 anys the former Geneva dele gale, M. Demarinis, is likely to content itself with a repetition of tepid. recommendations leav- ing open the question really dividing China and Japan.

question might solve itself if the parties in the dispute were only China and Japan. But behind China is the United States.

The real adversary of Mr. Matsuoka at Geneva is not Dr. W. W. Yen, but Mr. Norman Davis. It is suggested that Mr. Davis not only discussed dis- armament during his visits to London and Paris and Rome, but also the Manchurian situation and solution favourable to the United States. Reuter.

caused something of a sensation,

though it has been for some time understood that a clash of Japan! ese and League of Nations opin- ion would have the effect of sep- arating them.

The feature of yesterday's session of the Council was this warning from Japan, and Mr. Matsuoka's additional objection to the Lytton Commission being naked to reconsider its findings in view of the Sino-Japanese dis- sention and to report back.

Mr. Matsuoka, in the course of his remarks, said that Japan hoped that she would be able to remain loyal to the Leagre. He resented the imputations to the contrary contained in the attack upon his country by Dr. Welling- ton Koo, one of the Chinese de- legates. Reuter,

Mr. Sun Fo, President of the Executive Yuan and · one of the foremost political tigures in China, predicts the failure of the present session of the League of Nations. Council. Interviewed by newspaper-

men, the son of the great Na- tionalist,

Dr. Sun Yat-sen, declared that China must solve her own problems.

The League of Nations could not exercise sanctions against Japan under the Nine-Power Pact or any similar treaties,

Hon. Mr. Stanley Bruce, former Prime Minister of Australia because the powers were not fully backing the League, Mr. and now Minister for the Commonwealth in London, has indicated Sun Fo asserted, the most advisable course for the nations to follow. He urges America to consider Britain's past sacrifices, which have exhausted her, and to assume herself, perhaps, the role of the saviour of the world.

He believes the silver vein will prove the richest and largest in mining history.

It is anticipated that the gold discovery will be of major im portance before the end of next summer, for it will be worked at
