§ 25. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the continued need expressed by Sir John Hope Simpson, the chairman of the Chinese Flood Relief Commission, for financial aid to the extent of £220,000, he will urge at the coming meeting of the League of Nations Council the granting by each State represented on the League of Nations of a grant in proportion to their resources towards this sum?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)The position as regards a grant by His Majesty's Government for the purposes of flood relief in China has not changed since the reply given to the hon. Member on the 25th of April last. My right hon. Friend cannot, therefore, undertake to urge other Governments to make a grant.
