§ Dr. LEECHasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office the cost of maintaining the legation guard in Peking, including the cost of the battalion at Tientsin from which the guard is drawn?
§ Mr. COOPERThe estimated effective cost of the infantry battalion at Tientsin in 1932 is approximately £125,000. About one-fourth of that sum may be attributed to the legation guard in Peking.
