HC Deb 29 February 1928 vol 214 c425W
Mr. TREVELYAN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, as Article III of the Franco-American Pact appears to be open to the construction that it restricts the scope of conciliation provided in the Bryan Treaty, he can give an assurance that no such restriction of the scope of conciliation is contemplated in the Anglo-American Treaty?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not suppose that Article III of the Franco-American Draft Treaty is intended to restrict the scope of the Bryan Treaty, but I cannot at present speak confidently as to the true interpretation of the text.
