§ 15. Major-General Sir Alfred Knoxasked the Secretary of State for War what quantity of Red Cross parcels despatched by the British, Canadian and American Red Cross Societies is now accumulated at Vladivostock; and whether any parcels have yet been allowed by the Japanese Government to go through to the prisoners' camps.
§ Sir J. GriggAccording to my information there are some 2,000 tons of Red Cross relief supplies waiting at Vladivostock for arrangements to be agreed for their transport to Japan. So far none have reached the prisoners.
§ Sir A. KnoxWill the right hon. Gentleman state whether any reply has been received from the Japanese Government to the Russian intervention on this subject?
§ Sir J. GriggI think matters have been carried a stage further but, if it is a matter of negotiation, I would be grateful if my hon. and gallant Friend would put a Question down to the Foreign Secretary.
