精彩书摘:
On September 21, 1931, the KMT government lodged an appeal to the League of Nations with regard to the September 18th Incident, while “urging the Chinese people to stay calm and patient” and “count on the League of Nations for fair judgment.”l However, the governments of Britain, France, the US, and other Western powers, and international organizations did not do what Cluang Kai shek's KMT government had hoped. On the contrary, for the sake of the interests of their respective countries and groups, they conruved and compromised with Japan.
After the September 18th Incident, although the US government was opposed to Japan's exclusive seizure of northeast China and announced its non-recognition policy, it did not take any concrete action against Japan's aggression and expansion. Britain's China policy was to maintain the status quo, and as long as Japanese aggression did not obstruct its interests in the Yangtze River Valley and southern China it was not willing to offend Japan. The position of France was similar to that of Britain. The US and Britain continued their supply of arms to Japan, and France granted Japan a loan of 800 million francs. The appeasement policies of the Western powers toward Japan contributed to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors.
To begin with, the League of Nations, which was controlled by Britain, France and other powers, treated the September 18th Incident as a conflict between China and Japan, disregarding the merits of the case and simply urging both sides to withdraw their troops. Although the League later adopted a resolution demanding Japan withdraw its troops within a given timeframe, the Japanese troops ignored this resolution and continued their attacks throughout the Northeast. There seemed to be nothing the League could do.
