§ Earl WINTERTONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that the account of the attack by Greek troops upon Turks at Smyrna last year is being used throughout India, Egypt, and Syria by Moslem propagandists, who produce evidence of massacres of Moslems of both sexes, and that these allegations are likely to cause further Moslem unrest, His Majesty's Government will approach the French and Italian Governments with a view to a joint inquiry, in order to show that the three Allied Governments will do all in their power to fix the responsibility for such incidents in the Middle East, whether they take the form of massacres of Christians by Moslems or of Moslems by Christians?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThe Allied Governments already do what is in their power to fix the responsibility for massacres such as those described in the question and to prevent their occurrence, but the publication of recriminatory evidence in the present state of agitation in the Near East is of doubtful advantage.
