...spunky little Empire at Geneva last week spoke Japan's Minister to Poland, cocky Dr. Fumio Ito. Down the League Mandates Commission's throat he rammed a Japanese thesis that because of "the undeniable fact of world economic interdependence, the League of Nations has not ceased to interpret the expression 'all members of the League' as meaning all the countries in the world and not only members of the League, as it seems at first glance...
