An American correspondent asked Lord Robert Cecil whether the Japanese plea for racial equality had been considered. Lot* Robert Cecil replied: "However much one may sympathise with the principle of racial equality one cannot insert any. such principle in the League without'interfering with the international affairs of the countries affected. The principle of non-interference has been carefully guarded throughout the league discussions. That will be the British delegation's answer to the Japanese." • jSTater message states that the Japancar delegation informed President Wii•oq and Mr. Lloyd. George that it withdrawn the demand that the league shall g&frantee the abolition of racial discrimination.
