U;S: NANCHURIAN -PACT UNCERTAIN Acceptance of Invitation te Parley to Depend Upon Terms. Upon the conditions under which the American Government will be invited to atiend the Geneva Conference of Conciliation for the Manchurian prob- lems depends largely the acceptance to participate in such a conference, it is| stated in well informed quarters in the Btate Department. The Lytton report together with the | recommendation for a vote of censure | against Japan by the smaller nations end other matters connected with the Maiichurian question were referred last week to the Committee of Nineteen established last Spring by the League of Nations. For the time being the Committee of Nineteen has to work under auspices of the League of Nations and its decisions must be based onthe covenant of the League, which provides sanctions against the offending nation, if she is found guilty. The United States Gov- ernment cannot accept to send official delegates to such a conference because it has never recognized the League nor does it agree with the policy of sanctions. Basis for Participation. Should, however, the League decide that the Committee of Nineteen will function merely as a conciliatory body, with the consent of both disputants, the | United States Government might agree | to become a party to that body. which, | while containing the same personnel. will no longer be forced to act in ac- cordance with the provisions of the covenant. There is a definite impression in administrative quarters that the Far Eastern question will enter into its final stages next week, when the Committee | of Nineteen, or Twenty-one. if the| United States and Russia agree to send delegates, meets. So far. it is stated, the clever Japa- mnese diplomacy which combined smooth- | ness with threats has not made much | headway. much as some of the more important nations would like to sec the irksome Manchurian question buried | under the avalanche of reports, docu- ments and speeches which have been made in_the last nine months ‘The Japanese delegate at Geneva, | Am sador Matsuoka, has used al! pos- | sible arguments to induce the League to | postpone “sine die” the issues involved in the Japancse occupation of Man- churia. After Tckio has threatened the League, with dire consequences if a de- cision against Japan is taken. Mr. Mat- suoka complained that Japan is as much misunder-tood by the world, public opinion as Christ was some 2.000 years ago. “Are you sure the so-called world opinion will persist forever?” he asked #if a speech last Thursday. “Humanity crucified Jesus of Nazarath 2.000 years 8go. What. then, today? * * * Some of the people of Europe and America may wich even to cruclfy Japan in the century. epared to e'leve that years, world opinion will be changed and we also shall be under- stood by the world as Jesus of Nazareth was.” Pathos Produces Smiles, The pathos with which the speech was celivered “brought however, only smiles and the Council of the League proceefed with the reccmmendation that the entire Manchurian question, inclusive of the harsh denounciation of Japan suggested by the minor members of the League, shou'd be put before the Committee of Nineteen, which will meet early in the course of this week. Much stress ‘was lald by Japan and her friends on the ill-feeling which was created In Great Britain and in France in the course of the last two weeks be- cause of the refusal of the American Government to permit postponement of the December installment of the war debts. | While it is true that public opinion in both these countries has been roused against America, the matter of payment | of the December installment is consid- ered by the respective governments as a comparatively minor issue compared with the other more important questions which are still open: the economic con- BEAUTIFUL PLAYER PIANO Perfect Condition FREE BENCH AND MUSIC ROLLS | Three Men Sealed H In Room for Tests Of Common Cold l By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 15.—Seeking "clues to the cause of the common cold, scientists at the University of California Hos- pital are making observations on three men living In a sealed Toom under conditions controlied by the experimenters, Dr. William J. Keer declined to disclose the detalls but it was learned that the purpose is to determine among other things whether the subjects could contract colds simply through atmospheric or tempera- ture changes, and how after passing a given time in the room ‘ without showing signs of colds, they might react to the addition of another person with a cold Dr. Kerr said the findings would not be available for pos- sibly several months, if at all. ference and the scaling down of the war debts. It is realized that a satisfactory agreement with the United States on these matters is of far greater conse- quence than the payment of the $124, 000,000 which arelue in December. On the other hand, it is felt in diplomatic quarters that the Manchyrian question is an issue which interehw the world | nations as much as it interests the !

Correct constipation by eating a delicious_cereal. Laboratory tests show Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN supplies “bulk” to_exercise the intestines, and vitamin B to tone the intestinal tract. The “bulk” in_ ALL-BRAN is similar to that of lettuce. Within the body, it becomes a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. How much better than using pills and drugs—so often harmful. Two tablespoonfuls daily will cor« rect most types of constipation.
