HC Deb 24 January 1902 vol 101 c788
MR. JAMES O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the policy of His Majesty's Government to maintain the status quo in Asia includes the status quo in Manchuria.

* LORD CRANBORNE

It has been repeatedly stated that one of the principal objects of the policy of His Majesty's Government in the Far East is the maintenance of the status quo in China as determined by Treaty.
