Nipponese consul general at Geneva issued a prepared statement which intimated that Japans real interests stopped not at China and Manchukuo but embraced nearly one-third of the earth's land surface. An important phase of the situai tion was that Great Britain took the independent action to seek ; information from Japan, without consulting the United States or other nations. When in 1932 American Secretary of State Henry 1. Stimson ’I took the lead in questioning Jaipan's separation of Manchuria from China to he made into the independent state of Manchuria, I Great Britain held hack. All through that crisis, which resulted in Japan's withdrawal ! from the league of nations, the i American state department waited • vainly for effective support from Britain and other nations. I Now i* is intimated that Britain hopes for American cooperation i inasmuch as her own interests - are gravely affected. Before the note was sent there > had been declarations or explanai tions of declarations by Japanese { officials in Tokio. in China, ini i Washington. , A few hours after its dispatch Nasayuki Yokoyama, Japanese • consul general at Geneva —league | headquarters — issued a formal I' statement in which he declared | | that Japan intended to assume | responsibility for events in I ‘western’ Aisia, It was explained ! later that this' was a translator's error and that eastern Asia was meant but the implication was unmlsfakeable. I rt This declaration is meant above all." ho said, “to affirm Japan's firm intention to assume responsibility for events in western Asia in close collaboration with Asiatic powers.” The powers he mentioned included China, India, Siam, Manchukuo, the Philippines and Asiatic Russia. Throwing in the small area of the new east, the Statement implied Japan’te "firm intention’’ to make its sphere of Influence embrace 17,000,000 square miles of land on the earth •

—and more importantly to include not only China but territories now tlving the American, British and Russian flags. It was indicated here that the! Simon note to Japan assumed as its basis the continued existence of the nine power treaty which guarantees China’s sovereignty. Japan, Britain and United States are signatories. Chinese efiloilts to enlist aid against feared Japanese domination caused visits of Chinese en-' voys in many countries to the j foreign offices to which they are | assigned. o FAIL TO FORCE DOLLAR LOWER (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE! I break far below par. The immediate effect was a strengthening of dollar , quotations. Along with the determination of | the administration to forstall further decline in the American dollar below its gold parity were indica- ■ tions that no change would be made in the current unlimited gold price of $35 per ounce As soon as foreign speculators I cover dollar commitments, it was j predicted in important banking cir- , | cles today, the dollar will .settle, I town into a narrow range, develop- > ment desired by the administration. : REPORT OUTLAW SIGHTED NEAR MUNCIE TODAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) G.
