HC Deb 25 April 1934 vol 288 cc1720-1W
Mr. McENTEE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any reports from our representatives in Tokio regarding Japanese foreign policy towards China, more especially with regard to Japan claiming the control of Chinese foreign relations?

Sir J. SIMON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to-day to the hon. Member for South Shields (Mr. Johnstone), to which I have nothing to add.

Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the new Japanese pronouncement on foreign affairs has any connection with the coming Naval Conference; and, if so, whether he will equally state its influence upon the disarmament movement?

Sir J. SIMON

I fear I am not in a position to deal with the somewhat speculative questions suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend.
