56. Sir F. HALLasked the Lord Privy Seal whether the Agreement recently come to between Germany and Russia provides, among other things, that Krupps shall be allowed to establish armament works in Russia, and that Germany shall prohibit the transport of munitions or troops through her territory for the assistance of Poland and the other Russian border States should they need military assistance to maintain their independence; and if, in view of the menace which these arrangements would involve to the maintenance of a free Poland, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, he will state whether the Allied Governments propose to take steps to secure their effective annulment?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have no information of any such arrangement. The last part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
