HC Deb 23 April 1934 vol 288 c1370
12. Sir A. KNOX

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can give any information regarding the projected recognition by the United States of America of the State of Manchukuo?

Sir J. SIMON

I have no information that the United States Government are contemplating any such step; and the rumour has, I understand, been officially denied at Washington.
