§ 35. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government is taking any part whatsoever in inducing Hungary or Roumania to attack Russia in defence of Poland; and whether any compensation is being held out to either country at the expense of Czecho-Slovakia?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIn view of the existing situation this is the kind of question to which I am not prepared to give an answer.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODAre we to understand that, as you cannot give an answer, the suggestion made in the question is correct?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThat would be quite a mistake. If one is to answer one kind of question like this, one must answer others. Therefore, it does not follow that the question is correct.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODAre we to understand that the British Government is taking part in stirring up other countries to go to war instead of us?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt would be a mistake to understand that also.
