HC Deb 29 May 1933 vol 278 cc1529-30
10. Mr. LEVY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now give any further information with regard to the position of hostilities between China and Japan, and the possibility of an armistice being arranged in the near future?

Sir J. SIMON

I understand that the fighting has ceased, but I have not yet received details of any arrangement that may have been arrived at.

16. Mr. McENTEE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to make any further statement with regard to the interview attributed to Sir Francis Lindley whilst in Canada, expressing sympathy with the policy of Japan in Manchuria?

Sir J. SIMON

I am informed by Sir Francis Lindley that the report of an interview with him which was quoted in the Press in this country as having been published in Canada is not correct. He did not, in fact, say anything in explanation of Japanese policy that had not already been said in the report of the Lytton Commission.
