§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the statement of the Japanese delegate that Japan regarded favourably the establishment of Manchuria's independence, and welcomed hopefully the new autonomous regime is taken from the verbatim record or the corrected report upon which the printed minutes are based; whether there is any difference between the verbatim report, issued by the League of Nations Secretariat, and the corrected printed minutes; and, if so, the nature of the difference?
§ Mr. EDENThe words quoted by the hon. Member are contained in the printed verbatim record. Any other version would have been an uncorrected draft record, and I cannot say what corrections, if any, may have been made in any such draft record.
