§ 45. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether any effort has been made by communication with Washington to obtain complete unity of aim and method with regard to the Chinese situation; and, if not, will he endeavour to effect such a result even by the mission to America of a Cabinet colleague.
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)His Majesty's Government are in constant touch with the United States Government through the usual diplomatic channels and exchange views with them on the various aspects of the Chinese situation as they arise. I see no need to supplement this channel of communication by the despatch of a special mission.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIs not the very-fact that we have had to send a Note to the Southern Chinese Government on our own proof positive that there is not that co-operation with America which there ought to be if peace is to be preserved?
§ Mr. HARRISIs it not possible to speak on the telephone to America now, and cannot we discuss it in that way?
