FOR CHINA

Favourable Motion Adopted

The Sub-Committee of the Committee of 23 in its report of the Sino-Japanese conflict have found that the military opern- tions of Japan against China, by land, sea and air, are out of all proportion to the incident which occasioned the conflict.

The Committee adopted both reports of the Drafting Com- mittee and passed a resolution, without opposition, which much more favourable to China than seemed Ukelya at one ma- ment. It is thought that President Roosevelt's Chicago speech, which appears elsewhere in this issue, influenced the decision.

Geneva, Oct. 6. The Committee of 23 adopted both reports of the Drafting Com-

Poland abstained from voting expressing the opinion that the rule of procedure had been neglect ed. Canada and Switzerland also abstained. having expressed destre to consult their govern- ments.

The Assembly adjourned until 5 p.m. to-morrow to enable the delegates to consult their Govern-

INDIVIDUAL AID

The amendment was rejected by Australia, Holland, Britain and France and supported by Soviet Russia, China and New Zealand. while six states abstained.

Mr. Jordan also declared that the words at the end of the re- port and resolution "should also consider how far they can in- |dividually extend aid to China”” as

suggested by Lord Cranborne.

The Sub-Committee of Thirteen has approved the report of its Drafting Committee and a meet-. ing of the full Committee of Twenty-Three has been summoged for this evening.

The following are, the Sub-Com- mittee's conclusions:--

COMMITTEE'S CONCLUSIONS

It is clear. the two countries take different views, as regards the underlying ground of the dispute and the Incident which led to outbreak of hostilities, but it is unchallengeable that powerful Japanese armies invaded Chinese territory and took militarily' con- trol of large areas, including Pei- ping itself, that the Japanese Government had taken naval men- sures to close the coast of China to Chinese shipping and that Japanese alrcraft were carrying out bombardment's over widely separated regions.

OUT OF ALL PROPORTION

After examination of the facts laid before it, the committee is bound to take the view that the milltary operations of Japan against China by land, sea and alr are out of all proportion to the incident which occasioned the conflict; that such action cannot possibly facilitate or promote the friendly co-operation of the two nations which Japanese statemen

affirmed would be the aim of their polley, that it is unjustiñable on the basis of exising "legal instru- ments or the right of self-defence and it contravenes Japanese ab- ligations under the Nine-Power Treaty and the Pact of Paris.

He pointed out that the situa tion in the Far East rendered it imperative that the basis OD which the League exercised powers of conciliation should be as broad as possible,

"AGGRESSION" POUND

M. Paul Boncour (France) also supported. M. Maxim Litvino (Soviet, said the committee had found in the action of the Japa- "nese Government all the elements of aggression, but still did not use the word in deference to the feel- ings of some members,

Dr. Wellington Koo sald the recommendations were far short of what the Chinese delegation had asked, but they were prepared to accept them in the spirit of solidarity, it being understood that the Chinese delegation reserved the right to present on a future oc- casion. the proposals which the committee were now unable to accept.

The earlier part of the report of the sub-committee points out that they had not attempted to deal with the historical cause of the conflict.

CONFLICTING. VERSIONS.

The report starts with a review from July, 1937, and passes to the incident of Lukouchlao, setting out the conflicting Chinese and Japa- nese versions. The report declares that while communications were going on extensive movements of troops were making the situation worse. The report describes the China at the end of July and says outbreak of hostilities in North

that the operation of Japanese troops in North Jhina provoked lively reaction in China.,

By the declaration of Japanese statesmen that China must give way, the emergency financial mea- sures in Tokio, the departure of Japanese residents from China. the Government and people of China were led to the conclusion

that

break their "resistance by force of Japan was determined to

arms.

SHANGHAI HOSTILITIES They were confirmed in this conviction in, the second week of August when the Shanghai region RESOLUTION ADOPTED

FAVOURABLE TO CHINA The resolution, which is ex- pected to pass the assembly with out opposition, is much more favourable to China than seemed likely at one moment and there is ground for bellef that President Roosevelt's speech influenced the decision,

STATEMENTS CITED

The report cltes statements from

At a comparatively early stage It began to appear that Japan, in addition to reaching a local settle- inent, was also determined to ob- tain solution of all questions at issue between the two countries,
