MESOPOTAMIAN PRISONERS.
WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.
LONDON, July 20. MH W. Forster stated in the House of Commons that, notwithstanding the efforts of the American Ambassador at Constantinople, the whereabouts of the majority of the Mesopotamian prisoners were unknown
Mr Asquith emphasised that the Government's Naval, Military and Diplomatie advisors strongly protested against the publication of the papers, but the Government recognised the public anxiety and therefore did not complain of Sir Edward Carson's motion. But in view of the critical character of the present auilitary operations, and also the prospects in regard to the Government very much deprecated debate which would gve the outside world the impression that The WŁ were internally divided. Government boped and believed, in ̈ regard to Mesopotamia in particular, that ample provision was being made" for the requirements of the troops and the campaign. The Government did not desire to conceal past shortcomings, į“. or to shield whoever was directly responsible.
C
Mg. Asquith reminded the House of the complexity and length of the Crimes inquiry and said similar diBculties would face Sir Edward Carson's proposed inquiries. He believed the Government's proposals would meet the situation better.
Mr. Aubrey Horbert: Wil the men responsible in Mesopotamia keep their positions during the inquiry?
Mr. Asquith? We must not con- deren people unheard. Wherever a prima facie case of incapacity is made out the Government will not
besitate to not. We have done so in more than me instance.
Sir Edward Carson said that after Mr. Asquith's statement it would be futile to proceed with the debate.
