§ Mr. BIGLANDasked the Prime Minister whether the Berlin Treaty of 1886 relative to the Belgian Congo and the French, German, and British Possessions on the West Coast of Africa is in force or whether it has been denounced?
Mr. D. WARDThe actual legal status of the Berlin Act which is a multilateral treaty is doubtful, but it has not yet been denounced. The questions with which it deals are at present under the consideration of the Peace Conference.
