139. The Secretary General has circulated under date of April 9th to the members of the Council the following message from Lytton:
“At the Council meeting held on November 21st, 1931, the Italian representative stated on behalf of his Government that it would place at the disposal of the Commission all the facilities it possessed on the spot and that all the Italians on the spot would contribute towards the inquiry. The Commission has no doubt that all the other members of the Council with representatives here will desire similarly to facilitate the accomplishment of the Commission’s task and that they will if necessary send instructions to this effect to their Legations at Peiping and their Consulates in Manchuria.”
