4. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether Roumania is now an Allied or a neutral State; and whether Roumanian nationals in this country enjoy the status and privileges of citizens of a neutral Power?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Balfour)

According to the information in my possession, Roumania is still an Allied State, and Roumanian nationals in this country enjoy the status and privileges of citizens of an Allied Power.

5. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any information concerning the King of Roumania and the present seat of the Roumanian Government and court; whether the British Minister, recently at Jassy, remains in Roumania; and whether he has telegraphic and other means of communicating with the Foreign Office?

Mr. BALFOUR

As far as is known, the King of Roumania and his court are still at Jassy, which is also at present the seat of his Government. His Majesty's Minister is also there, and in almost daily communication with me by telegraph.
