See No Cause for Alarm. Financial experts in the early e tions of the Sunday papers call toda; Josses “unfortunate,” but insist there is no cause for alarm for the pound ster- ling or the London market generally. ! “The mlmodlb liquidation which so marred inauguration of the Satur- day market is not to be taken serious- 15" the Sunday Times says. The pa- per asserts that a half-day session is for market to be negotlated. A loss of nearly £1,000.000 in Amster- dam_on London was being generally ascribed to difficulties of Dutch bank- ers and not to any lack of confidence in the British situation.

Latest news from Manchuria, and also the opinions of the Central Execu- tive Committee, were radioed to the Yungsui, and the President’s reply was anxiously awaited. Some circles in Nanking still hope tke Manchurial ‘crisis will prove to be e resuit of Japanese military cliques’ unauthorized actions, which the Tnkw government will repudiate. This hope was based partly on Tokio dispatches indicating the cabinet had ordered the cessation of all military movements. Japanese Consul Uyemura today vis- ited the Nanking foreign office and told Dr. Hau Mo, chief of the Bureau of Asiatic Affairs, Tokio had ordered all troop movements in Manchuria halted. Uyemura said he hoped it would be pos- sible to confine the trouble to a small local area. ‘The Nationalist government is “greatly exercised over the situation caused by the unprovoked attack by Japanese troops on Mukden and other cities of Manchuria,” Foreign Minister Wang told the Associated Press Cor- respcndent. He said appropriate steps will be taken to apprise the League of Nations and signaiories of the Kellogg { pact of the “unwarranted action on the rt of Japanese troops. ‘The foreign minister added that his government is prepared to “lay all {facts before the world so that it could be judged which party was the ag- gressor.” Immediate cessation of hostilities by Japanese troops in and about Mukden and their withdrawal to their original positions was demanded in a vigorous nme sent by Foreign Minister Wang Japanese Minister for l-um to Tokio. Moved With Precision, ‘The Japanese military machine moved with precision, said reports reaching Shanghai, and within 24 hours of the first skirmish the Japanese held that section of Manchuria south of Chang- chun. In addition to Mukden the Japa- nese occupied Neuchwang, principal port of Manchuria, and Kwangchentse, northern terminus of the South Man- churian Railway.

Couneil Satisfled With Japanese Atti- tude at Geneva. GENEVA, September 19 (#).—Japan's representative at the League of Nations, Kenkichi Yoshizawa, today assured the League Council his government would take all possible measures to_ localize the clash with Chinese at Mukden, Manchuria. He sald Japan M " h&n steps to keep the “collision,” as called it, lrom reaching unfortunate dl- mensions. He made no reference to re- sponsibility for the incident. 8. Alfred Sze, Chinese delegate, told the Council that, according to the best information available to him, the Muk- den incident did not grow out of any act of Chinese. Alejandro Lerroux of Spain, presi- deént of the Council, expressed satis- faction at the assurances given by Japan’s spokesmen and sald the Coun- cil would watch developments with interest. Consideration of the Mukden affair occupied the Counicl only 10 minutes.

S. State Department Sees Murkden Incident Not Against Peace Pact. The American Government looks | upon the clash of Japanese and Chi- nese troops in Manchuria as a conflict between individuals rather than gov. ernments, and accordingly sees no present ground for invoking the Kel- | logg-Briand pact for renunciation of war. The State Department sald yesterday it was following the situation carefully, but that on the basis of news thus far there seemed to be no indication of any violation of the treaty. Officials contrasted the situation with | the trouble between Russia and China | some time ago which led the United | States to remind the two countries that | they had signed the Kellogg-Briand | agreement and asked all other signa- tories to use their good offices to pre- vent war, 1l Feeling of Troopers. In the Sino-Russian affairs, officials sald, the State Department was satis- fled that the soldiers were acting under direct authorization of their govern- ments. In the present instance, it is felt the fighting i-l ‘wholly unauthorized and results largely from ill feeling be- tween the Japanese and Chinese troop- ers in part growing out of the recent e:flhn of a Japanese officer in Man- cl 5 It was indicated that if developments showed the governments were involved and warfars threatened this country again would remind the contending nations of their agreement and also lDD'e.J to the other signatories of the pact.
