DOCUMENTS WERE SIGNED AT LAUSANNE BETWEEN BRITAIN, FRANCE AND ITALY. EMBODYING THE SO-CALLED GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT, CONCERNING WHICH THERE HAS BEEN MUCH SPECULATION IN LONDON
AND SOME SIGNS OF ALARM IN CERTAIN CIRCLES IN THE UNITED STATES, WAS MADE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS TO-NIGHT.
Mr. LI. George.
The suggestion that this "secret agreement is tantamount to an ultima- tum to America was firm- ly and clearly dispelled by
Mr. Lansbury.
Mr. Kamsay MacDonald, but there was a feeling in the House that the docu- ment should.be published. Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Churchill both urged Mr. Ramsay publication. MacDonald said he did not object, but as the gist of the documents had already been published, there was no occasion to publish them. Mr. Neville Chamberlain declared that Britain could not publish them without the consent of France and Italy. Mr. Lansbury also thought it better to publish. Nothing should be per- mitted to stand which might lead to suggestions that the Governments had something to hide. Simon later announced that he had cabled to Paris and and Rome for consent to publish.
