HC Deb 23 January 1929 vol 224 cc165-6W
Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Nationalist Government of China have engaged a number of German military officers to reorganise the Chinese army; and whether this matter has been discussed by the League of Nations?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I have received reports of the arrival of German military instructors in various parts of China, but I am unable to say precisely in what capacity. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
