§ 42. Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British Government has taken any action upon the recommendation of the League of Nations that each Power should call the attention of its nationals to the special risks attendant upon the acceptance of concessions or appointments in Manchuria?
§ The LORD PRIVY SEAL (Mr. Eden)The advisory committee set up by the League of Nations, as a result of the Assembly resolution of the 24th February, 1933, regarding the non-recognition of the present régime in Manchuria, drew attention to the risks referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend, but made no recommendations in regard to them. The conditions at present prevailing in Manchuria are well known, and the issue to British subjects of a warning on the subject has not therefore been considered necessary by His Majesty's Government.
§ 43. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps have been taken to ensure that treaties in operation between Great Britain and China are being given effect to by Manchukuo?
§ Mr. EDENNo special steps have been found necessary to safeguard the treaty rights and privileges enjoyed by His Majesty's Government in Manchuria.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSMay I ask whether treaties have been in operation in respect of Manchukuo, even though that country has not been recognised?
