Lieut.-Colonel MALONEasked the Under-Secretary of Slate for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that Latvia and Lithuania have received the recognition of Italy, and that representatives of the Italian Government are being sent to those countries: and whether, in view of the fact that it has been the consistent policy of the Allies to take no action of this nature without the consent of the majority, it may be assumed that Latvia and Lithuania will obtain complete de facto de jure recognition by both France and Great Britain in the immediate future?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part does not therefore arise.
§ Sir H. GREENWOODAbsolutely.
