§ 7. Sir J. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will give the House the latest information he has on the present situation in China?
§ Sir J. SIMONI am afraid that it is impossible to describe the general situation in China within the limits of an answer to a Parliamentary question. The House has been kept fully informed of the position in regard to the important questions still at issue, and I have no information of any recent developments which call for special comment.
§ Sir J. WARDLAW-MILNEAs it appears that the Chinese Government—that is, the Nanking Government—are making every effort to bring order in the Yangtse Valley, will the right hon. Gentleman do his best, if a suggestion is made that appears to support a, movement to bring order out of chaos, to do everything he can to help it?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe hon. Gentleman may be assured that we will do everything we can to support bringing order out of chaos into the Yangtse Valley and in every other part of the world.
