18. Sir EDWIN CORNWALL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Entente Powers have given their approval to any proposal for the establishment of a neutral zone in Greece; and, in that case, what action has been taken?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord Robert Cecil)

An arrangement has been come to between the Allied Powers and the Greek Government, providing for the creation of a neutral zone between Thessaly and the districts of Southern Macedonia occupied by the forces of the Venizelist Government. The execution of this arrangement has been left to the French General Commanding in Chief of the Allied Forces at Salonika.
