§ 9. Captain ERSKINE-BOLST(for Mr. POTTER) asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Argentine Government representatives are making arrangements whereby the Argentine Government and provincial authorities will pay without further delay their debts for freight charges owing to the Argentine railways operated with British capital; and, if not, what steps are proposed to remedy the hardship suffered by many British subjects who invested their savings in Argentine railways for the purpose of developing Argentina?
§ Sir J. SIMONIn view of the fact that, as has been stated in previous replies on this subject, the negotiations regarding the state of the account current are proceeding in a satisfactory manner between the railway companies and the authorities concerned, the matter has not been raised in discussion with the special Argentine Mission now in this country, nor are His Majesty's Government asked by the railway companies to intervene in any other manner.
