§ 5. Mr. POTTERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the official declaration issued by M. Alberto J. Pani, president of the Mexican delegation to the Monetary and Economic Conference, on 15th June, 1933, included any offer by the Mexican delegation to terminate the default since 1913 until now of the Mexican Government's obligations to British subjects; and, if not, will he request M. Pani to state the intention of his Government on this point?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the default of the Mexican Government on its foreign obligations, I have nothing to add to the information given in reply to the question by my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing (Sir F. Sanderson) on the 9th November, and, in view of the position as then stated, I do not consider that intervention by His Majesty's Government is called for.
