4. Major M. WOOD

asked what steps are now being taken to compel the German Government to recall the German troops with Colonel Bermondt and General von Eberhardt?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The main measures which have been taken up to date to bring pressure to bear on the German Government to withdraw the German troops from the Baltic have been the suspension of negotiations which were proceeding between the Supreme Economic Council and the German Government for the supply to Germany of food, raw materials, and financial assistance, and an embargo on the movements of German ships in the Baltic, Meanwhile an Inter-Allied Military Mission under General Niessel, which was appointed to supervise the evacuation of German troops, has already passed through Berlin on its way to the Baltic States.
