Questions in the House

OF COMMONS — Sir Edward Grey, Secretary of

State for Foreign Affairs, referring to the alleged massacre of Arabs, said that Great Britain cannot interfere with the military operations of Italy. Such a course would be inconsistent with neutrality. He earnestly deprecated questions which would be offensive to other countries, Mr. J. F. Mason, Conservative member for Windsor, asked Mr. Asquith what action the Government proposed to take to express their horror of the house-to-house massacre of the Arabs. Mr. Asquith eaid that he deprecated most strongly such questions. (Cheers.)—Reuter.
