HC Deb 30 April 1934 vol 289 c16
11. Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the consolidation of Manchukuo as an independent State under the Emperor Pu-Yi and the proposed early withdrawal of armed Japanese forces, the Government will take steps to secure the reconsideration of the present position by the League of Nations with a view to diplomatic recognition being granted to the new State under the altered circumstances which have now arisen?

Sir J. SIMON

I am not in a position to add anything to the reply which was returned to my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, West (Mr. Donner), on the 6th March.

Sir W. DAVISON

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise how prejudicial to British trade is the present state of affairs in Manchukuo?
