The debate on the issue, on which Japan appears ago. British Wirelers, to feel very strongly, occupied the whole attention of the Council and no progress towards a settlement of the Manchuria imbroglio was made. In the Far East, no change of note is recorded. Japan still occupies large areas of Manchuria. The boycott campaign is un- diminished.
