§ 15. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Fifth National Congress of Russian Soviets held in Moscow on or about the 8th July adopted a new constitution for Russia, and that in the regions of Russia which are thereby federated in the Russian Republic the constitution is firmly established; and whether he will obtain a copy of this constitution in Moscow through Mr. Lockhart?
Mr. BALFOURI believe that the fifth Congress of the Russian Soviets approved a new constitution, but I have no precise information on the subject. Communication with Moscow is precarious, but I will try to get a copy of the constitution.
