§ Mr. EdenI expect to receive shortly from His Majesty's Ambassador the report on this subject which my Noble Friend undertook to obtain in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for South-West Norfolk (Mr. De Chair) on nth June.
§ Sir J. Wardlaw-MilneWill my right hon. Friend be good enough to try to secure a copy of the catalogue of the Youths' Bookstall, Shanghai, in which he will see hundreds of English books offered at a discount of 40 per cent.?
§ Mr. EdenI am aware of the complaints there have been in this matter and that is why I asked for this report.
