LYTTON APPEAL.

("Telegraph" Special).

Shanghai, Mar. 18.

The Earl of Lytton deliver- ed another striking peace speech at a tiffin given in honour of the League of Na- tions Manchuria Commission by the Chinese Press Asso- ciation.

Lori Lytton said that they had all heard of the war-lurds in Japan and of the war-lorda in Chinn, bist no war-lords exercised the power poseHяed by the war-lords of the Prosa.

He appealed to the Press to re- ward the League Commission as "planters" and expressed the hope that the Press would make fruit- ful soil in which their seeds were planted.

RECIPROCAL.

Referring to China's declaration that she asked nothing less than justice, Lord Lytton polated out that an atmosphere of justice could not be secured by one na- tion passing judgment upon an- other.

Justice between Status was a reciprocal relationship. It could only be secured by reconelling, if nossible, the needs and interesta of all States in relationship with

each other.---Router.
