Your Excellency,
With reference to M, Cambon's call
on the 12th February, when enquiry was made as
to the attitude of His Majesty's Government
towards the export of arms to China, I have the
honour to inform you that no final decision has
yet been reached in the matter. Simultaneously
with His Majesty's Ambassador's note of the
3rd August 1934, to which M. Cambon referred,
enquiries were addressed to the Belgian, Italian,
United States, Czechoslovakian, Japanese,
Swedish, Spanish, Swiss, Polish, Danish and
Norwegian Governments. The replies elicited are
summarised below for the information of the
French Government; the majority, as You
Excellency will observe, indicated regular
compliance with the regulations of the Chinese
Government.
