PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL

My dear Prime Minister,

After concluding my main letter to you, I saw the Hansard of
yesterday's debates in the House of Commons. I am enclosing the
questions and answers on the subject of China and would
particularly draw your attention to the final supplementary
question by Lt. Cdr.

Kenworthy. [1]

I am also enclosing a copy of the debate on the Pacific Cable
Bill. [2]

Yours sincerely,
F. L. MCDOUGALL


1 J. M. Kenworthy, Labour M.P., asked about the future of
International Concessions, and what positive action was proposed
to protect British nationals in view of recent attacks on
foreigners at Nanking. See House of Commons, Parliamentary
Debates, fifth series, vol. 204, col. 1229.

2 ibid., cols 1279-1301. The Bill embodied an agreement reached at
the 1926 Imperial Conference, giving greater Dominion
representation on the Pacific Cable Board and altering the
financial arrangements for the cable.
