MILD CRITICISM OF JAPAN IS DRAFTED BY 19 POWERS; ACTION IS LEFT TO FUTURE; ITALY URGES DELAY Delegate Holds Direct Negotiations Are Only Hope for Accord KOO ASKS AID FOR CHINA Davis, Eden and Delbos Assail Aggression but None Offers Plan for Settlement A resolution mildly criticizing Japan for her warfare in China was drafted by nineteen nations at the Nine-power pact conference in Brussels yesterday. Italian and Scandinavian delegations refused to sign it without instructions from their governments and adoption was put off until tomorrow. The parley has left action against Japan to the future and the resolution was regarded as its swan song. [Page 1]. The coming visit of Viscount Halifax to Berlin has met a favorable reaction throughout Britain. Foreign Secretary Eden's friends were mollified by an announcement that he would draft the instructions, but they will be subject to approval by the Cabinet. Hitler was reported ready to offer a ten-year truce on the colonial question if given a free hand in Central Europe. [Page 1.]
