sir,
Vith reference to your despatch No. 929 of the
13th August, 1934 enclosing the reply of the United State
34 Government to tho enquiry eddressed to them by Hie Vejertele
Government regarding the export of aras to China, I have
the honour to inform you that the Counsellor to the French
Embanay called here in this connexion on the 12th February.
He informed Sir Victor Wellesley thrt the French Government
had, subsequent to the enquiry undertaken by His Majesty's
Government in August, 1934, themselves enquired of eight
Governmenta ea to their attitude, All the replios thich
they had received appeared to be satisfactory with the
execption of the Japanese renly. In view of I. Cambon's
enquiry it seems to me appropriate that the ranch and
United States Governmenta should now be informed of the
position as it tppears to His .. Junty'a government.
Ze In August 1934, His Majesty's (overnment, through
the diplomatic representatives in the various capitals
concerned, addressed enquiries to the French, Belgian,
Italian, United fitotes, Japanese, Czechoslovskian, Swedish,
3ponich, Swiss, Polish, Danish and Norvegien Governments.
From the replies received it appeared that the attitudes adopted by all Governments except the Polish, the Belgian, the Swiss and the Japanese, were wholly satisfactory, in that they indicate unqualified compliance with the Chinese
Government's
His Excellency
The Right Honourable
Sir Ronald Lindsay, O.C.M.G., K.CB.,
