HC Deb 01 May 1934 vol 289 c161W
Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the new Japanese claim to domination in China, he will consult the chief chambers of commerce in this country as to the effect which any such policy will exercise on British trade?

Sir J. SIMON

As I informed the House yesterday, Japan has reaffirmed her adherence to the policy of the Open Door in China. In these circumstances, I cannot agree that it is necessary to adopt he course proposed by my hon. Friend.
