HC Deb 15 May 1931 vol 252 cc1493-4W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to an article published in the "Pravda," an official organ of the Soviet Government, on Saturday last, advocating the overthrow of British dominion in India by force, the repudiation of debts, the establishment of a Soviet regime, and the confiscation of property in India; and whether he will make the advocacy of this policy the subject of a protest to the Soviet Government as constituting a breach of the Protocol of October, 1929?

Mr. DALTON

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement on this subject made by the Prime Minister on 14th May in answer to a question by the right hon. Gentleman the Member for West Birmingham (Sir A. Chamberlain).
