§ 1. Lieutenant-Colonel WALTER GUINNESSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Sleswigers of Danish race are still treated as enemy aliens in this country; and whether any concessions which may have been made to Poles, Czechs, and inhabitants of Alsace-Lorraine may be extended to those Sleswigers who are not of German race?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)The arrangements made for the treatment of different classes of persons technically of enemy alien nationality but of friendly race must necessarily vary 1040 with the different political situations of the persons affected. I understand that Sleswigers of Danish race have always received in this country the most favourable treatment possible in the circumstances and that individuals who have produced Danish passports have been considered alien friends.
