HC Deb 18 March 1929 vol 226 c1506W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will suggest to the other Powers concerned the desirability of raising the embargo on the importation of arms into China, on the ground that an embargo is both derogatory to the newly constituted national government and restrictive of employment in this country?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN
