KNOXasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has yet been made aware, through reports from His Majesty's Minister in China, of the extent to which the province of Sinkiang, excepting the south-west section, is under the influence of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; and whether he will ask that a report be supplied showing the extent and nature of Soviet penetration in that province, with special reference to its effect upon Indian relations with Sinkiang?
