ORDER FROM GERMANY
BRITISH AERO ENGINES
STATEMENT BY SIMON
(British Official Wireless.) (Received May 15, 11 a.m.)
RUGBY, May 14. Replying to- a question in the House of Commons regarding an order from a German firm for 80 aeroplane engines placed with • tho Armstrong-Siddeley firm, Sir John Simon said that tho fulfilment of tho order did not conflict with tho terms 'of relevant international instruments.
In reply- to a further question he said that the obligations of Germany regarding" the importation of aeroplanes and aeronautical material were defined in Article 198 of the Treaty of Versailles, and in the Paris Air Agreement, 1926. Under these obligations Germany undertakes to prevent the import of aircraft, armoured or protected in any way, or equipped to receive any engine of' war or apparatus for sighting or the discharge of engines of war. These obligations did not therefore affect the importation of'engines or other aircraftparts in general. His Majesty's Government would continue to use their best endeavours to sec that no export of material from this country conflicted with tho relevant provisions of the treaties, to which they were parties.
