WORLD COMMENT ON LYTTON REPORT

MANCHUKUO NOT INTERESTED

AMERICA INCLINED TO BACK UP PROPOSALS.

"LEAGUE INTERVENTION WITHOUT

SIGNIFICANCE"

THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY)

New York, October

WASHINGTON correspondents say, that although the State Department has not commented, it is clearly inclined to throw the influence of the United States Government behind the Lytton proposals for the peaceful settlement of the Manchurian controversy.

The Report is accepted by Washington officials as a fair and just appraisal of the situation and is a realistic approach to the solution of admittedly enormous difficulties:

It is reliably understood that the U.S. Government is not noying in the matter at present, its position being that the in- vestigation was made by an agency representing a large number of other nations, and the only proper course for the United States is to await Lengue action.

The New York Times characterises the Report as comprehen- esive, penetrating and impartial, and says that it reveals a strong desire for Sino-Japanese conciliations and the co-operation of all Powers in helping" China to escape the evils of civil war and to establish her own stable government.

BERLIN, October 3.

The Nationalist newspaper Montag says that the work of the Lytton Commission is not likely to help solve the serious prob lem in the Far East, and adds that the Commission's suggestion that the League intervene, if Jupon and China cannot agree, is practically without significance, because Japan has already declined such a solution.

OFFICIAL FRENCH ATTITUDE

PARIS, October 3.

French official circles, while ping the clarity of the Lytton Heport, do not venture au opinion thereon. It is pointed out that the French Government auturally places complete confidence in the Report and does not intend to disavow its nominee, M. Cinudel.

REPORT DESERVES NO ATTENTION"

TOKYO, October 3.

The Japanese Press states that Pao Kuan Cheng, Manchukuo's cavoy plenipotentiary to Tokyo, declared the Lytton Report does not deserve the slightest attention be. cause it entirely disregards the popular will of the Man churians who are responsible for the birth of Manchukuo. He said the Report does not solve the problem but complicates the situation,

Pao Kuan Cheng concluded by stating that Manchukuo is attaching no importance to the Report as she is Brmly determined to push towards the ideals which established the Manchukuo.
