JAPAN THREAT TO QUIT LEAGUE IS HELD BLUFF Impossible Under Rules; May Be Expelled but Great Losses Would Be Faced. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Bcrlpp-Hrd Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. Japan's threat to resign from the league of nations if the Lytton report and the verdict of the league's council are against her, can not be carried out. Japan may be expelled from the league, experts in international law in diplomatic circles here assert, but she may not resign unless, and until, she first conforms with the league's decision on awards. Article I of the league covenant states: "Any member of the league may, after two years’ notice of its intention so to do, withdraw from the league, provided that all its international obligations under this covenant shall have been fulfilled at the time of its withdrawal.” Article 16 says: "Any member of the league which has violated any covenant of the league may be declared no longer a member of the league by a vote of the council concurred in by the representatives of all the other members of the league represented thereon.” Resignation Threat Futile Thus, it is pointed out, Japan’s threat of resignation are futile should the Lytton report find that Manchuria remains jfn integral part of China, and Japan refuse to act in accordance with that finding. Furthermore, according to the text of the covenant, Japan apparently would have to give up the swarm of mandated islands in the South Pacific, stretching threefourths of the way from the Philippine islands to Hawaii. Among these islands are the Pelews, Marianas, Carolines, the Balick chain and the Marshals. Guam, fortification of which the United Slates gave up as a result of the signing of the nine-power treaty and the four-power pact of the Pacific, entirely is surrounded by these groups. Article 22 of the covenant declares that colonies and territories which, as a consequence of the World'war, ceased to be under the sovereignty of the states which formerly governed them, should be taken under the wing of other powers "as a sacred trust of civilization,” but subject to the safeguards thrown about them by the league. Philippines Left Undefended "This tutelage should be exercised,” by such states, the covenant specifies, "as mandataries on behalf of the league.” "In every case,” it adds, "the mandatary shall render to the council an annual report in reference to the territory committed to its charge.” The degree of authority which the mandatary power shall have is explicitly reserved for the council to say. Should Japan be expelled from the league, therefore, it is pointed out, for non-observance of the covenant, her mandates, being "sacred trusts of civilization,” scarcely could be left at her sole mercy. The Pacific islands mandated to Japan are sprinkled thickly on both sides of the direct route between Honolulu and Manila. The Philippines virtually were left undefended following the agreement between Japan and the other Pacific and Far Eastern powers not to resort to force as an instrument of national policy in that part of the world.

CUOLIDGE HEADS GOMMISSIOH TO HELP RAILWAYS Work Will Be Begun at Once on All-Inclusive Survey; Seek New Laws. BY LOWELL L. LEAKE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

years in the laws governing railroad regulation and rate making. The members of the commission are Calvin Coolidge, former President of the United States: Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential candidate in 1928; Bernard M- Baruch. financiar; Clark Howell, newspaper publisher, and Alexander Legge, former federal grain board head, now president of the International Harvester Company. The announcement was ma J e by Walter Bennett, president of the Immigrant Savings bank, representing a group of banks, investment houses, insurance companies, industries and economists. A letter inviting the service of the five men. and released by Bennett, reviewed the “grave financial position'’ of the railroads, operating this year under "staggering deficits,” and involving the livelihood of 1.500,000 employes, $300,000,000 paid annually in taxes, and $19,500,000,000 in securities held

largely by thrifty investors either directly or through insurance policies backed by such securities. "Any ultimate loss will constitute a burden on every taxpayer,” the letter said. The purpose of the survey, in brief, is to trade security for investors and workmen for removal of some government restrictions or control over the railroads. Bennett said that "any substantial improvement in the status of the railroad carriers should have a stimulating effect on industry as a whole.” He cited the fact the railroads are the largest employers of labor and the largest buyers of industrial supplies.
