London, Sept. 14.
Commenting on China's appeal to the League of Nations in connection with Japanese aggression in China, the press to-day did not believe that China will raise the question of sanctions, "The League Council will immediately institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the dispute," declares the "Daily Telegraph." "it is not clear what else the Council can do. But it is abundantly clear that Japan will not accept the Council's invitation."
The "Daily Herald" on the same subject, writes,—"China's appeal the League kills the hope of who clung to the belief that Geneva would be able to turn quite a blind eye to events in the Far East. The invocation of Article XVII obliges the Council to take some action. It must ask Japan if she will accept the responsibilities of a member of the League, a question to which the answer is obvious. The Chinese have very carefully avoided any allegation that the Japanese have had recourse to war which would have Taised the whole question of obligation to impose sanctions." Z-Havas.
