TO CHINA.
F.3424/34/10.
Code telegram to Sir M. Lampson (Peking).
Foreign Office. June 18th, 1931. 3.40 p.m.
No. 205 (R).
Your telegram No. 175 (of June 12th extra-
territoriality).
In answer to a question in the House of Commons
on June 15th as to whether I would publish your report
on your conversations and negotiations with Dr. Wang
I gave the following reply.
"I am still awaiting a full report from Sir
Miles Lampson, but I cannot, at this stage, give an
undertaking to publish it, when it is received.
Moreover, until political conditions in China make
it possible for a final agreement to be concluded, it
is not desirable that the results so far reached in
the negotiations should be made public."
