§ 15. Captain PETER MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps are being taken by His Majesty's Government to ensure that the Customs revenues in Manchuria, on which foreign loans are based, are still paid to the Chinese Government?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)The Manchurian authorities have declared that it is their intention to pay their quota towards the service of the foreign loans secured on the Customs revenues. No agreement has yet been reached for the carrying out of this intention, though the Manchurian authorities have remitted to Shanghai certain sums out of the revenues which had accumulated up to the time of their seizure of the Customs.
