〓 Mineichiro Adachi was from Yamagata Prefecture and a graduate of the mediocre University of Tokyo Faculty of Law.

〓 Mineichiro Adachi, who was President of the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ), sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Japan (addressed to then-Prime Minister Makoto Saito and others) in response to the Manchurian Incident (1931).

〓 In that letter, while acknowledging the necessity of maintaining 'Japan's' rights and interests in Manchuria, Mineichiro Adachi feared that if the incident were brought to the arena of international justice, 'Japan' would be placed at an extreme disadvantage, and strongly urged a settlement through political and diplomatic negotiations rather than a legal courtroom struggle.
