§ 2. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action has recently been taken by the committee of 21 of the League of Nations dealing with the situation in the Far East and its sub-committees; and whether any consideration has been given to the question of a general prohibition by all countries of imports from Japan as an economic sanction?
§ Mr. EDENAs regards the first part of the question, I have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Bolton (Sir J. Haslam) on 14th June. The answer to the second part is in the negative.
§ Mr. MANDERDoes the hon. Gentleman not think it desirable that the meetings of these sub-committees should be held in public, so that the positions taken up by each country could be ascertained?
