29. Captain NORTH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any date has yet been announced for the withdrawal of the Japanese troops from Shanghai; and what are the reasons for their continued presence there after the withdrawal of the Chinese from the vicinity of the city?

Sir J. SIMON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. My hon. and gallant Friend will be aware that negotiations on the whole subject are now proceeding.
