Article by City Historian E. T. Williams about the History Niagara Falls State Park for the fiftieth anniversary celebrations.

Japan has refused to submit to the decision of the League of Nations which condemns the invasion of Manchuria in September, 1931, and the setting up there of a so-called"independent state of Manchukuo," and has announced her withdrawal from the League. Should Japan's connection with the League be actually severed at the end of the period of two years' notice required by the Covenant, the continuance of her mandate over certain islands in the Pacific is sure to be called in question. The matter is one that is already disturbing several governments. Japanese statesmen insist that their mandate will not be affected by Japanese withdrawal from the League. Certain German statesmen think that the islands ought to be returned to them.

Japan's attempt to include the Province of Jehol within the boundaries of so-called Manchukuo, if successful, is likely to be followed by serious consequences to China and to other nations as well. The southern boundary of Jehol coincides very nearly with the line of the Great Wall. Japan's action at Shanhaikuan and subsequent to the seizure of that place would seem to indicate her desire to make the Great Wall the boundary between Manchukuo and China. Even if Japan should evacuate Shanhaikuan, she will undoubtedly attempt to hold the passes between there and Kupeikou, which is at the southwestern comer of Jehol Province.
