British material and equality of price with foreign, please see text of Belgian indemnity agreement (my despatch No. 142 of 1928) article 1 of which provides for exclusive application of funds to the purchase of Belgian material. I see no reason why we should not insist on the same as proposed in our draft note and
I submit that in fairness to British industry we should certainly do so. This feeling is strengthened by the information given in Mr. Newton's telegram
No. 84.
I await instructions and also any available information regarding parliamentary procedure in view of early dissolution of Parliament see Wang's enquiry in first paragraph of Mr. Newton's telegram No.
(? 282.)
Addressed to Foreign Office No. 389;
repeated
to Mr. Newton.
