HC Deb 29 March 1911 vol 23 c1306
Earl WINTERTON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Ambassador in the United States has been officially in communication with the President or Government of the United States since the right hon. Gentleman's announcement in the House on the subject of international arbitration, with a view to giving some practical effect to the proposals?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I can only repeat the answer I gave on Monday: that I am not as yet in a position to make any statement on the subject.

Mr. REMNANT

May I ask whether it is the fact, as published in this morning's paper, that the Government have refused to entertain any international arbitration treaty with the Danish Government until the treaty already proposed with the United States is settled?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

That does not arise out of the question, and perhaps the hon. Member will give notice of it.
