He continues: "According to many Far Pastern telegrams, Japan suggests that China resign from the League, dismiss her ad- visers and enter an Eastern Asso- clation on such terms with Japan as will keep the rest of the world at a distance, terminate what re- mains of unequal treaties and end the destruction of British and American China,"

It is now clear we ought to take preliminary ac- tion to mobilize the signatories of the Nine-Power Treaty without de- lay. Japan is fully entitled to a predominant position in the Far East. The sole question is whether she is going to repeat on the gigantic field of China the veiled annexation she has already car- rled out in Manchukuo," concludes.. Lord Lothian,
