§ 21. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has approached any neutral Power or Powers with a view of repatriating alien enemies to Germany, Austria and Turkey; whether any neutral Powers have offered their good services in this connection; and whether, without prejudice to national interests, a statement can be made as to the routes by which repatriated parties will travel?
§ Sir E. GREYThe answers to the first and second parts of the question are in the negative. With regard to the last part of the question, enemy aliens are repatriated by the route which is considered most convenient at the moment, and it is difficult at this moment to say which that precise route may be.
