§ 4. Mr. MOREINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs with regard to the Tientsin-Pukow railway, whether the arrangement that monthly deposits should be paid into a special account in order to accumulate a fund to meet arrears of loan services is being effectively carried out; and, if so, what is, the present amount of the fund?
§ Sir J. SIMONI have no reason to suppose that these deposits are not being made on due date, particularly as payment of the interest coupon, the longest in arrears, has in fact been made. I have no information as to the present amount of the sinking fund, but it was originally estimated that by the end of July, 1933, deposits totalling $920,000 would have been paid into the fund. Since the date of the original arrangement, however, the figures of monthly deposits planned have been increased.
