Chinese appeal to League over Japanese aggression at Geneva
The Chinese delegation framed an appeal urging peace-loving members and non-members to join in action against the aggression. It cites Article 17 to invite Japan to sit in the council of reply and accuses Tokyo of deploying 60 000 troops around Woosung Shanghai since mid August while planning to attack Nanking. The blockade of the Chinese coast is called illegal and Japan will not return to Geneva to sit on discussions. Nippon resigned from the League after earlier declaring Manchuria aggression.
