RUGBY, 28th January
Sir Austen Chamberlain stated in the House of Commons in reply to a question that the Government proposed to deposit tho ratification of tho Kellogg Peace Pact as soon as the Governments in the Dominions were in a position to do likewise. Asked whether as a means of strengthening the machinery for the pacific settlement of disputes he would recommend the Government to sign the Optional Clause, ho said that the ratification of the Pact might have important results in- many directions, but it was .too early yet to. say what concrete form those results would take, particularly such matters as -that mentioned. On this matter the Government desired to proceed in the closest toucTi with the Governments in the Dominions. Various cognate matters, of which that was one, were under almost continuous examination and consideration of the Government.
