HC Deb 12 June 1918 vol 106 cc2183-4
15. Mr. LEES-SMITH

asked 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. KING

Can 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. BALFOUR

The hon. Gentleman has gone a good deal further than the question on the Paper.

Mr. SNOWDEN

May I ask if the United States and the Allies are in sympathy with the intervention of Japan?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member should put that question down.
