43. Mr. C. PALMERasked the Prime Minister whether the invitation to the President of the United States to delimit the boundaries of Armenia under the Turkish Treaty, which Mr. Wilson has accepted, was in any way contingent on the United States agreeing to accept the mandatory for Armenia; and whether, in view of the failure of the United States to accept that mandatory, the question of President Wilson's assistance in the task of delimitation will be reconsidered by the Allies?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part does not, therefore, arise.
Mr. PALMERIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that it has been stated that America has accepted the duty of delimiting the boundaries?
§ The PRIME MINISTERindicated dissent.
