Koweit and Mohammerah.
Mr WEDGWOOD asked the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs whether every
agreement, treaty, and undertaking be
tween this country and any other country
is now public property; and, if so, whether
the Sheikhs of Koweit and Mohammerah
are included in the term other country, or
not ?
The SECRETARY of STATE for
FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey):
The answer to the first question is m the
negative. The answer to the second is ,
that the status of Koweit - and Moham-
merah is exceptional. Agreements made
with them were not contemplated as
coming under the head of treaties ma e
between His Majesty’s Government and
other Foreign Governments to which the
previous statements made in the House
applied.
Mr. SWIFT MacNEILL: Do I under-
-stand the right hon. Gentleman to say that
there are other secret treaties besides the
secret treaty recently disclosed between
this country 7 and France?
Sir E. GREY: Does the hon. Gentleman
mean between this country and France?
Mr. MacNEILL: Between this country
and any other country. We k»ow about
France.
Sir E. GREY: Yes, Sir; there are other
engagements that have not been published.
Mr. WEDGWOOD: May I ask whether
any steps are being taken to communicate
our engagements with the Sheikhs of
Koweit and Mohammerah to other
Powers ?
Sir E. GREY: We have been in com
munication with regard to one of the sub-
' jects with the Turkish Government in
order that we may, if possible, come to
an understanding in comlection with the
Baghdad Railway.
