D. M. Smeaton, M.P. for' Stirlingshire, asked whether the Government was aware that if such a line were not made, the whole trade of Yunnan would be diverted from Rangoon to Saigon. Mr. Hobhouse replied that the Government had not lost sight of the importance of the matter, but it would be most injudicious at the present juncture to lay all the reports on the table.—Reuter.
