§ 110. Sir P. Macdonaldasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what agreements have been reached at the various conferences of the five great Powers with regard to the return to China of all territory which she has been obliged at various times to yield to Japan, either following a Sino-Japanese war, or as a result of Japanese pressure, or in an endeavour to avert a war with Japan; and whether he will provide a list of the territories which have already been, or which are to be, returned in due course under such arrangements.
Mr. McNeil:Under the Chairo declaration of 1943 it was agreed that
all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese such as Manchuria, Formosa and the Pescadores shall be restored to China.124W This agreement was reaffirmed by the Potsdam declaration of July 26th, 1945. Both the Yalta agreement of 11th February, 1945, and the Sino-Soviet agreement of 14th August, 1945, recognised Chinese sovereignty over Manchuria. As regards the second part of the Question the territories concerned are, as stated, Manchuria, Formosa and the Pescadores.
