§ Mr. MORGAN JONESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that during the recent trials in the Mixed Court at Shanghai it was stated that the Shanghai University was taken over by an 44W order signed by Gordon, the commander of the volunteer force; and if he will state under what authority the commander of the volunteer corps is able to occupy an educational establishment?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINUntil I receive the evidence it is not possible for me to say whether the alleged statement was made or not, nor whether, if made, it was true or untrue. It follows, of course, that I am equally unable until I see the evidence to answer the last part of the question.
