It| was added, however, that there is not | much point in negotiating new treaties “until China has shown a readiness to | abide by existing ones.” FULL TEXT OF STATEMENT. | Japanese Government Outlines Its Po- sition in Manchurian Controversy. By the Associated Press. The Japanese embassy last night made public the translation of the full text of the statement issued at Tokio outlining that government's position on Manchuria, The text follows: “1. On the twenty-second of Octo- ber, the Japanese representative in the Council of the League of Nations pro- posed certaln amendments to the reso- luiton then before the council with re- d to questions of (1) withdrawal of Japanese troops to the rallway zone and (2) direct negotiations between China and Japan. However, these sug- | olution itself, fell through, having failed to obtaln unanimous approval of the council. “2. As has been repeatedly empha- sized by the Japanese government, the whole Manchurian affair was occa- sioned solely by a violent and provoca- army on the railway zone. Certain small contingents of Japanese soldiers still remaining at a few points outside that zone are insistently demanded by the danger to which a large population of Japanese in that region are ex- posed. The presence of such a limited number of troops is quite incapable of being represented as a means of dic- tating to China Japan's terms for the settlement of the present difficulties. Armed Pressure Denied. “Nothing is farther from the thoughts of Japan than to bring armed pressure to bear upon China in the course of these negotiations. “3. The Japanese government have on various occasions given expression to their Arm determination to suffer no bridgement cr diminution of the rights and interests of Japan, which are vital to her national existence and which are woven into the complex fabric of her political and economic relations with China. “Unfortunately, the so-called ‘recov- ery cf rights' movements in China have recently attained extravagant develop- ments, while feelings antagonistic to Japan have been openly encouraged in text books used at various schools in China snd have become deeply seated in the Chinese mind. In deflance of treaties and regardless of all history, vigcrous. agitation has been carried on in China with the object of undermin- | ing rights and interests of Japan, even | the most vital. “As things stand at present, the com- plete withdrawal of Japanese troops to | the South Manchuria Rallway zoné un- | der the mere sssurance of the Chinese government would create an intclerable situation, exposing Japanese subjects to the gravest danger. The risk of such danger is clearly evidenced by past ex- perience and by conditions which actu- ally obtain in China. | “4.
