§ 15. Mr. LEES-SMITHasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will say whether an agreement has been reached between the United States and the Allies regarding non-intervention in Russian affairs; and whether it has been decided to give Russia the widest economic help?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Balfour)There is no truth in the report that an agreement has been reached to abstain from intervention in Russia. We are, of course, anxious to give Russia economic assistance.
§ Mr. KINGCan the right hon. Gentleman go further, and state that there is complete accord between our Government and President Wilson in regard to policy towards Russia?
§ Mr. BALFOURThe hon. Gentleman has gone a good deal further than the question on the Paper.
§ Mr. SNOWDENMay I ask if the United States and the Allies are in sympathy with the intervention of Japan?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member should put that question down.
