In the House of Lords on Thursday, December 7th, Lord

Birkenhead read a letter sent by Lord Curzon in answer to one from the late Gounaris. M. Gounaris- whose letter was reproduced in: the Sunday Express a fortnight ago and was referred to by us last - week—. implored help for the Greek Army on the ground that if help were not sent disaster was inevitable. Lord Birken- head complained that this correspondence had not been circulated to the Cabinet. In the House of Commons on the same day Mr. Bonar Law stated, on the authority of the Foreign Office, that the correspondence as a matter of fact had been communicated to the Cabinet in the ordinary way. Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Chamberlain, however, said that they had never received it.
