DEBATE AT LORDS

(Continued from page 9)

said it China and Japan colla- borated, it was reasonable to ex- pect that Britain would do re wise, and Togle would invite the United States to collaborate also He said apart from ›"jingo poll- ticlans from California," nobody thought there was a fundamental issue standing between Japan and the United States. He added that .no reasonable person expected Japan to recede from her present position, and opinion in China was rapidly changing towards a better understanding with Japan.

TOLERANCE, AND WISDOM Lord Addington emphasised that the interests of China and Japan were not necessarily conflicting, but the fact that they had Mashed caused a dangerous situation. Some other nation ought to mediate, and for this Britain was uniquely Atted.

Britain, sald Lord Addington, should make up her mind. These important issues required imme- diate attention. There was grave risk of the economic collapse of China, and unless something was done soon, it might be too late to "Evert disaster. Britain might face afalt accompli" and shape an Asiatic Monroe Doctrine.

"We must revert to the principles or those treaties," he declared. Frank, open discussion between the Pawers Concerned was the only solution.

Lord Marley contended that it was shirking realities to take up a"purely anti-Japanese attitude. He said until Japan began her con- tinental policy, no nation had shown preparedness to face the question of handing over to Japan some of its privileges.
