§ 21. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware of the publication in Russia of the terms of the secret treaty between Russia and Rou-mania, dated 23rd August, 1916; whether Britain is a party to this treaty; if not, whether previously or subsequently Britain approved it or guaranteed it; whether the territorial promises made therein to Rou-mania are included in our objects in the war; and whether, as stated, Rou-mania is to be entitled to sit as a Great Power at the Peace Conference?
Mr. BALFOURIf there is a secret document of the kind referred to, evidently it ought not to be discussed in public.
