In the House of Commons, Mr. Arthur Henderson, the Foreign Secretary, intervened in the debata on foreign policy, making spacial. reference to the proposed recogni- tion of Russia.

recognised as a Government of State and is still so recognised by His Majesty's Government.
Therefore the reciprocal rights and duties which International Law recognisen as Incumbent on States in their relations one to another, continue to subsist be tween Britain and Russin,
