No. 155.

Sir,

BRITISH EMBASSY,

WASHINGTON, D. C.

February 11th, 1936.

104

On receipt of your despatch No. 44 of the

15th January (F 7947/60/10) I immediately addressed

a note to the United States Government in the sense

therein instructed, and I have the honour now to enclose

a copy of the reply which I have received.

2.

You will observe that the United States

Government again express the hope that His Majesty's

Government in the United Kingdom will see their way to

adopt a list of arms, ammunition and implements of war,

in connexion with exports to China, similar to that

adopted by themselves, on the ground that His Majesty's

Government have made use of a list of this kind in the

case of their embargo on exports to Italy. I have the

honour to request that I may be informed in due course

of the reply which you would wish me to return to this

proposal. Further copies of the laws and regulations

governing the export of arms etc. were enclosed in

Chancery letter to American Department of the 22nd

November last.

The Right Honourable

A. Eden, M. C., M. P.,

etc.,

I have, etc.

(Signed) R. C. LINDSAY.
