Major Petherick

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether Mr. de Valera's Government has yet recognised the Emperor Haile Selassie as Emperor of Abyssinia?

Mr. Emrys-Evans

I have no information on this point, hut so far as I am aware no Government other than the United Kingdom and certain other Governments of the United Nations has yet recognised the Emperor Haile Selassie as Emperor of Abyssinia.
