HC Deb 04 February 1929 vol 224 c1403
58. Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any official information as to the conclusion of an arbitration treaty between the Governments of Germany and Russia?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I have no official information, but I have seen, as probably the hon. Member has also seen, a statement published in the German Press that an agreement was signed at Moscow on 26th January. From the text, which has also been published in Germany, it would appear that it is not a treaty for arbitration but for a procedure of conciliation.

Mr. SMITH

Will it be submitted in due course to the Secretariat of the League of Nations?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I cannot answer for the future conduct of a foreign Government.
