HC Deb 16 November 1938 vol 341 c892W
Mr. Moreing

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government has notified the Government of Japan that it is in agreement with the Note addressed to that Government by the United States of America on 6th October?

Mr. Butler

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend, the Member for Kidderminster (Sir J. Wardlaw-Milne), on l0th November. I am satisfied that the Japanese Government are fully aware of the attitude of His Majesty's Government.

Mr. Moreing

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government, with reference to the American Note to Japan on 6th October, have signified to the Government of the United States of America their desire to co-operate in maintaining the policy of the open door in China?

Mr. Butler

His Majesty's Ambassador in Tokyo has been in constant contact with his United States colleague, and I do not think that the United States Government can be in any doubt as to the policy of His Majesty's Government in regard to the "open door."
