HC Deb 14 May 1934 vol 289 cc1438-9
17. Captain MAC DONALD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that the recent Japanese reply was satisfactory to this country, he has received any statement from the Nanking Government that this definition of Japanese policy is equally satisfactory to China?

Sir J. SIMON

No, Sir.

19. Sir C. CAYZER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that Japan has specifically objected to Dr. Rajchman's recommendations in favour of the expansion of the League of Nations' technical work of reconstruction in China; and whether the issues likely to arise from such a development will be considered by the Council of the League of Nations at its forthcoming meeting?

Sir J. SIMON

No, Sir. I am not aware of this. The question of technical assistance to China by the League will, I understand, be discussed at Geneva by the appropriate committee meeting this week.
