85. Sir J. D. REESasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps are being taken to induce the Greek Government to repay the sum of £30,000 owing to the Ottoman Railway (from Smyrna to Aidin) Company?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on the subject in the first part of my reply of yesterday to the hon. and gallant Member for New-castle-under-Lyme.
86. Sir J. D. REESasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office has information to the effect that the Greek Government has sequestrated and despatched to Greece 200,000 sheep and goats and 10,000 head of cattle from the vilayet of Smyrna; and, in the event of such being available, and seeing that such action does not accord with the spirit or letter of the mandate given for the administration of Smyrna vilayet, will the Foreign Office inquire into the matter?
§ Mr. HARMSWORTHThe Greek Government have categorically denied these allegations of the Turkish Government, and have informed His Majesty's Government that severe measures have been taken to prevent the export of sheep and cattle from Asia Minor.
