§ 1. Mr. JAMES HOPEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is proposed by the Great Powers to 6 establish guarantees for racial and religious freedom in all the country conquered by the Balkan League or only in the Albanian or semi-Albanian areas occupied by Servia and Montenegro?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Acland)My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, dealt in his speech here on the 25th instant with the question of guarantees for the protection of Albanian, Mussulman and Catholic minorities in the territory ceded to Servia and Montenegro in the North-West of the Balkan Peninsula. I cannot say anything about action of the Great Powers in other portions of the Balkan Peninsula.
§ Mr. J. HOPEWill the hon. Gentleman suggest to his right hon. Friend the desirability of inquiring whether those guarantees are not equally needed elsewhere?
§ Mr. ACLANDI will convey that suggestion to my right hon. Friend.
