All Documents in “Man
churian Controversy Are
Given Committee
GENEVA, Switzerland.—(AP)—
The .League of Nations assembly,
closing an eventful debate on the
Manchurian situation, voted Iri
day to refer that issue to the con
ciliation committee of 19 with a
request that the committee report
as ‘soon as possible on proposals
by the assembly for settlement.
The Lytton report, the record of
the discussions in the assembly,
and all pertinent documents were
passed on to the committee with
out comment, and thus the clash
over a resolution by four small
powers condemning Japan's Man
churian policy was avoided.
This procedure was regarded os
a success for Japan and for a poi
icy of conciliation with the sup
port of the big powers.
Among the several proposals ve
ferred to the committee was that
for inviting the United States and
Soviet Russia to participate in the
work oi conciliation.
Then the assembly adjourned’
indefinitely. The committee of 1Y
may meet on Monday.
