HC Deb 21 April 1921 vol 140 c2071
60. Mr. SUGDEN

asked the Prime Minister if the United States of America have yet proposed any practical scheme to the British Government which can by any means be adapted to work in some kind of harmony with the accepted scheme of the League of Nations?

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Before this is answered, may I ask whether, seeing that there has only lately been a change of Government in the United States of America and that there is nothing more important for the peace of the world than the promotion of the best Anglo-American understanding, it would not be tactful to wait for some time before raising this question?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

My answer is quite non-committal. It is in the negative.
