§ Colonel WEDGWOOD (by a Private Notice)asked the Prime Minister whether M. Loucheur put before him any suggestions for the solution of the Ruhr entbroglio; whether the suggestions included either the internationalisation of the Rhineland or the guaranteeing, by this country among others, of a loan to be raised by Germany in order to make an immediate payment to France; and, if so, whether he made it clear to M. Loucheur that this country could accept neither of these proposals?
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY (by Private Notice)asked the Prime Minister whether he can make any statement regarding the reported conversations between himself and other members of His Majesty's Government and M. Loucheur; and whether it is true that he expressed approval of the French action in the Ruhr during the conversations?
§ Mr. BALDWIN (replying for the Prime Minister, who, though present, was suffering from throat trouble)I shall answer these questions together. M. Loucheur's visit was entirely unofficial, and only a general conversation took place. The question of the French action in the Ruhr was never raised.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYMay we take it as a fact that the reports in the French and English Press that M. Loucheur went back with approval from the Prime Minister for the French action in the Ruhr is not a statement of fact?
§ Mr. BALDWINI have not seen any such statement.
