The agreement has no bearing on the internal site of Russia and on the whole fancy when the matter is farther criticised in the House it will be found that representative men on both sides will agree that Sir Edward Grey has done excellent service in this matter. Another criticism is that the agreement has been coneladed with too much secrecy. That comes from the Labour party which apparently imagines that delicate-foreign affairs can be handled as freely and publicly as a discussion at a Trade Union Congress.
