§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the formation of a Franco-Belgian syndicate to establish, in conjunction with the Chinese Government, an industrial bank for China, the Foreign Office will raise any objection to the 53W establishment of a similar bank by British financiers and business men, also working in conjunction with the Chinese Government?
§ Mr. ACLANDI could not express any opinion on she subject until I had before me an application from the parties interested in some definite scheme, with full information concerning it.
