THE CHINA MAIL, MARCH 7, 1940
TIENTSIN SILVER: STILL SEEKING A SOLUTION
London, To-day. ASKED IN THE HOUSE of Commons yesterday what was the present position as regards stocks of Chinese silver lying in the British Concession at Tientsin, Mr. R. A. Butler, Under-Secretary, for Foreign Affairs, said the position remained un- changed.
There had been conversations from time to time, however, between the interested parties with the object of find- ing a solution which would prove acceptable to all of them.
Sir J. S. Wardlaw-Milne (Cons. Kidderminster) asked whether in the negotiations now proceeding it was quite clear that the silver would not be given up without the consent of the Chinese Government..
Mr. Butler repeated that their object was to find a solution that would prove acceptable to all parties concerned, and of course the Chinese Government was a very important party.
Mr. Geoffrey Mander (Lib. East Wolverhampton) asked if there was any truth in the suggestion that it was proposed to place the silver un- der Anglo-Japanese trusteeship.
Mr. Butler replied, that there might be a question of placing the silver under neutral supervision but not in the way Mr. Mander suggested. Reuter.
