§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYasked the Under-Secretary of State for 70W Foreign Affairs whether he is now able to state that no coloured or other foreign troops have been used by the Polish Government on the Russo-Polish front?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI have made inquiries with regard to the report which appeared in the Bolshevik Wireless and was reproduced in the Press on 7th July to the effect that the Polish Government had employed coloured troops in their operations against Russia. The report appeared to me at the time to be fantastic and I am now in a position to state that it is without any foundation. I may add that in their operations against Russia, the Poles are relying entirely on their own Polish troops.
