(Continued from page 8.) might extend her area of influence. In that statement, which may be true or entirely untrue, there is a definite assertion that a treaty was made between Tibet and Hongolia, and the inference is drawn from it that by virtue of this treaty Russia will be drawn to extend her influence over Tibet. Let me say frankly, I do nos believe it. I do not believe that Russia would be a party to (any arrangement of that descrip- tion, which would be so incons!e- tent with the terms to which she has set her hand about Tibet ander the Anglo-Russian Con-

We hope the conference will meet at Simla in about three weeks' time.
My reason for putting the ques- tion is to give the noble Viscount the opportunity of a denial. My abject in these remarks has been to place before your lordships the faots of the case involving British relations of a most important ober- anter over a large portion of the Asiatic Continent, to invite in- formation or an expression of opinion on many of these points from His Majesty's Government, to ask them over all this grant area, and more particularly in regard to Persia, to recognize facts ne they are, and, instead of exon peating that facts will be modified to suit their policy, to adjust their policy so as to meet the facts..
