MR. CHURCHILL'S STATEMENT
IN THE COMMONS.
In the House of Commons on March 3. Mr. G. Stewart (C.U., Wirrall) asked the Colonial Secretary whether he had any further information as to the posi- tion of affairs in Hongkong; whether the Goverment of Southern Chins at Canton was officially rroognised by the Hongkong. Government, and, if Whethe their relations were | friendly; and if it was not officially recognised, would be consider the ad- viability of its recognition. Would the right hon. gentleman resist any recommendation that the British gar rison in Hongkong should be reduced to half a battalion of British troops, in view of the prevailing unrest in surrounding districts.
Licat Commander Kenworthy: If the right hon. gentleman does approre this measure of forced labour, will he send his apologies to Moscow !
Mr. Churchill:-If any apology had to be rendered to Moscow we might| find a very suitable Ambassador. (Cheers and laughter.)
