CHINA INVOKES ARTICLE 17 AT GENEVA

Geneva, To-day. Dr. Wellington Koo has sent the Secretary-General of the League of Nations a communication re- questing, on behalf of the Chinese Govern- ment, that the Council give immediate effect to Article 17 of the League covenant. Dr. Koo recalled that precisely a year ago the Chinese Government appealed to the Council to take effective action to deal with the grave situation created by Japanese aggression and the League has since adopted a number of re- solutions although all of them in their princi- pal provisions have remained unexecuted or ineffective.

Hostilities which Japan had started against China 14 months ago, had not only seen no abate- ment but, on the contrary, were be- ing pursued on an ever-extending scale with increased intensity and ruthlessness.

It was the firm conviction of the Chinese Government that, in the interests of the League itself, and the general cause of peace, as well as in justice

to China, the provisions of Arti- cle 17 of the Covenant should be applied in the present situa- tion in the Far East without further delay.

China therefore requests that the Council give immediate effject to Article 17 which, in the opinion of the Chinese Government, provides for the most relevant procedure for effective action by the League. Reuter.
