M.P. Moves Resolution

London, Oct. 12.

A boycott by the entire mternational sporting world of the Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 1940 was demanded to-day at a special session of the general council of the British League of Nations Unión in a resolution submitted by Mr. Noel Baker, Member of Parlíament.

A number of other speakers supported Mr. Baker's motion: for a boycott of the aggressor in the Far Fastern conflict, for a collaboration of all peace-loving democracies and for the maintenance of peace by the authority of the League of Nations. A similar attitude was taken towards the Spanish question.—Trans-Ocean.
