"I would ask Lord Plymouth," Lord Strabolgi declared, "if we are simultaneously exampling the question of discouraging the supply of credits and war material to Japan.
"I am not suggesting a Government boycott, but there are ways and means open to the Government jio bring pressure upon those who are supplying Japan with credits and war materials to desist from doing so.
"I fall to understand" why, if we collaborate with France, and the United States, other signatories of the Nine Power Treaty should not be called in to collaborate with us."
Lord Strabolgi said that at the time when the Nine Power Treaty was signed, "Germany and Russia were off the diplomatic map."
He suggested that a new Washington Conference was due, with the original signatories of the Treaty represented, plus Germany and Russia.
