§ 1. Mr. ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUELasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of the fact that British capital is embarked in the Chinese Kailan Mining Company, he will state what steps he is taking to see that British interests in the company are fairly treated in relation to transport facilities over the Peking-Mukden Railway?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Arthur Henderson)His Majesty's Minister in China is in close touch with the management of the Kailan Mining Administration on the point raised by the hon. Member, and has made representations to the Chinese authorities in the matter. His Majesty's Minister will continue to do all he can to assist the British interests involved.
§ Mr. SAMUELI am much obliged to the right hon. Gentleman. Will he ask the British Minister to remind the Chinese authorities that an attack on British capital is no inducement to further investments of British capital in Chinese undertakings?
§ Mr. HENDERSONI do not admit that statement.
