HC Deb 18 December 1929 vol 233 c1373
4. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what countries have associated themselves with the initiative of the United States of America in appealing to China and Soviet Russia to observe the obligations of the Kellogg Pact?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

The French and Italian Governments have taken the same steps as were taken by the United States Government and His Majesty's Government in the matter. Replies were received by the United States Government from a number of other Governments approving the proposal made by them, but the fact that direct negotiations had been begun between the Soviet and Chinese Governments has, no doubt, made it seem unnecessary to many other Governments to follow suit.
