asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government will regard with sympathy the desire of the inhabitants of Bessarabia to be reunited to Roumania?

The PRIME MINISTER

It has been the policy of His Majesty's Government, throughout the Peace Conference to endeavour to unite national majorities wherever it is practicable to do so. They will approach the consideration of the Bessarabian problem in that spirit.
