§ 7. Sir WILLIAM BYLESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he has any official information to the effect that the King of Bavaria and the King of Saxony have taken the initiative for an intervention by the Pope in favour of peace; and whether any communications with the same end in view are reaching the Foreign Office from other diplomatic sources?
§ Lord R. CECILThe answer is in the negative.
§ 52. Mr. DAVID MASONasked the Prime Minister whether he can furnish the House of Commons with particulars of the statement made by the German Government in its recent Note to the United States Government that twice within the past few months she has announced before the world her readiness to make peace on a basis of self-guarding Germany's vital interests?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe paragraph in the German Note to the United States Government appears to refer to the statements made by the German Chancellor in his speeches of 9th December and 5th April. I have dealt with these statements in my speech on 10th April and have nothing to add to it.
