§ Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the treaty between France and Japan with reference to Indo-China, has been registered with the League of Nations?
§ Sir J. SIMONSo far as I am aware, no definitive treaty has been entered into between France and Japan with reference to Indo-China since the signature of the Covenant of the League of Nations. On 30th August, 1927, however, these two Governments signed at Paris a Protocol for the purpose of regulating in general the economic relations between Japan and Indo-China, pending the conclusion of a definitive treaty of commerce and navigation. This Protocol was registered with the League of Nations on 30th November, 1927.
