§ 24. Mr. WISEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if be has any information to the effect that the French Government has loaned 400,000,000 francs to the Government of Poland: if there are any special terms given by Poland for this 533W loan; if the British Government was consulted; and if the British Government has put in any claim for the interest due on the British loan?
§ Mr. BALDWIN:According to the latest information in my possession, the French Chamber of Deputies has approved a credit of 400,000,000 francs to Poland "to assist her to pursue and ensure her economic and military development," but the credit has not yet been approved by the Senate. I have no information in regard to the second part of the question. The answer to the third part of the question is in the negative, and the answer to the last part is that interest up to 1st January, 1922, has been funded. Interest as from that date has been claimed, but none has yet been paid.
