WASHINGTON. Sent. 20 (UP
The United States todsy decided
to participate to a limited extent
In the meetings of the League of
Mstlons advisory committee on far
eastern affairs.
The advisory committee haa
been convened to consider China a
appeal for invocation of the league
covenant because of Japan's al
leged aggression. The Chinese ap
peal was filed with the league
council last week by Dr. V. K.
Wellington Koo, Chinese ambss

committee Is composed of 23 aa

morrow.
U. 8. Invited
The state department said that
Leland Harrison, American min
ister to Switserland, has com
municated the United States de
cision to the secretary general of
the league.
The action waa taken following
receipt of an Invitation from the
league for the United States to
co-operate In the work of the com
mittee which wss formed In 1(11
to advise the league on matters
ot policy In connection with
the Sino-Japanese controversy of
1(31-22.
Harrison cautioned the league
that American participation would
be limited and that this govern
ment would not take upon Itself
the responsibility ot full member
ship In the committee or in tho
league. Tho actual status of tha
American representative on the
committee Is that of non-voting

Spain remains, of course, a

cerning her but will lack tho
right to vote In council.
The msjor powers hold perma
