§ 18. Mr. KINGasked the Secretary of State for Foregn Affairs the nature of the report of the British officer, or British mission, who recently returned from Siberia to Volgoda; and whether the telegraphic news of thousands of German prisoners being rearmed and organised to fight against the Allies is confirmed or denied by this officer or mission?
Mr. BALFOURThe reports that reach us on this subject are conflicting, and I do not think anything would be gained by selecting for publication one fraction of the evidence.
