MANCHURIAN PROBLEM IS OUTLINED BY DR. T. Z. KOO

Speaking in the Large Room of the Fogg Art Museum yesterday afternoon, Dr. T. Z. Koo, vice president of the World's Student Christian Federation, outlined the fundamental causes of the Manchurian problem. One of the most important causes of the present crisis, Dr. Koo declared, is the presence of three different railroad systems in the region, a Japanese line, running approximately North and South, a Russian road, running East and West, and a Chinese system, built in the last ten year, which has lines over most of the territory of Manchuria. The establishment of this Chinese road put a large obstacle in the way of the monopoly in Manchurian transportation which Japan had enjoyed to a large extent previously, reason enough for Japan's actions of the past few months.
