eaoe has 'been to repeat our snslstene
that the" allies Shall not Interfere wua

but tho difference oa this point was a
matter of judgment and not a matter
ef principle. In ths note to .Oraat Brit

la view of these assurances formally
given to this government It Is confidently
sxpeoted that ths extensive powers con

Important thing, ths data of ths note Is

have ths matter presented to Oreat Brit

any right to ask it but because 1 was
