HC Deb 05 March 1934 vol 286 c1536W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, with a view to safeguarding British trade interests in China, he will take an early opportunity to press upon the League of Nations the desirability of taking every possible step to ensure that the League policy as to the undesirability of recognising the new State of Manchukuo is generally maintained, despite the recent political developments in that territory?

Sir J. SIMON

I have nothing to add to the reply given in writing on 1st March in answer to a similar question put by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Blackpool (Captain Erskine-Bolst).
