HC Deb 22 December 1915 vol 77 cc451-2
15. Sir E. CORNWALL

asked whether the Japanese Government have already appointed an Imperial Commission to investigate matters that will come up for determination at the Peace Conference to take place after the War; and, if so, whether it is the duty of this Commission, which is composed of representatives of the Army, the Navy and the Foreign Office, to study all questions pertaining to Japan's interests that may come up for discussion at the Peace Conference of European nations, so that the Japanese representa- tives at the Conference will be in a position to offer positive proof of their contentions and be ready to defend them?

Lord R. CECIL

I have no information on the subject of the hon. Member's question.
