HC Deb 12 March 1934 vol 287 c40W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the strength of feeling in China in favour of the non-recognition of Manchuria and in order not to imperil Lancashire trade with the 400,000,000 people of China, he will continue to abstain from recognising the new Government of Manchuria with its population of 40,000,000?

Mr. EDEN

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on 6th March to a similar question put by my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, West (Mr. Donner).
