§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is true that the Government of the United States has refused to ratify the General Act; and what effect, if any, such refusal would have upon the carrying out of that Act?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONThe Senate has not ratified the Act. The effect of that refusal is not a matter upon which Her Majesty's Government can express an opinion.
