§ 30. Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the Russian Government has made an approach through neutral Powers for a cessation of hostilities; and whether any statement can be made as to the conditions tinder which our hostile operations in Russia may be concluded?
Mr. BALFOURMy right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The Maximalist authorities in Russia have, I understand, inquired whether a neutral Government would promote 2468 negotiations between them and the Allied Powers. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
