Mr. Lee emphasises that British investments in China amount to £300,000,000 and contrasts the de- eline of British and Amèrican ex- poris to China and increase of Jn- panese exports in 1938. He points out that what happened in Formosa, Korea and Manchukuo, where Bri- tish trade is only one per cent. since they were annexed by Japan, will happen also in China unless Japanese aggression is checked.
"We can only pay the colossal bill of rearmament, social services and Interest on loans If we increase, let alone maintain, our export trade and 16.35b/37 surely China with her magnificent possibilities, natural genius for irnde 10.30 /30
