Question asked in the House of Commons, March 23, 1910.
Sir William Bull,-To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the American Government has requested the support of His Majesty's Government for the Chenchow-Aigun scheme; and, if so, what reply has been given to the American Government.
Answer.
The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The attitude of His Majesty's Government towards the railway scheme has already been defined in my previous answer. The United States Government have been kept fully informed of their views and of the view of the Anglo-Russian Agreement of 1899 upon which
they are based.
