§ 39. Captain MOREINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether citizens of Poland, Ozecho-Slovakia, Yugo - Slavia, and Rumania, who were formerly subjects of the German or Austria-Hungarian Empires, are regarded, for the purpose of peace treaties, as citizens of friendly States; and whether any distinction is drawn between those who were formerly German subjects and those who were Austro-Hungarian subjects?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe answer to the first part of the question is generally in the affirmative, but there are certain exceptions with regard to which I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to Articles 76 and 77 of the Treaty of St. Germain, Article 62 of the Treaty of Trianon, and Article 91 of the Treaty of Versailles. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
