RETURN OF FREEDOM AND TERRITORY QUESTION FOR PERSIAN GOVERNMENT.; (British Official News.) Press Association—By Wireless—Copyright. RUGBY, July 20. (Received July 21, at 11 a.m.) Asked by the House of Commons whether the British Government had taken any steps to return to the Sheik of Moha minerah his personal freedoni and territory, Sir Austen Chamberlain said that the decision did not lie with His Majesty’s Government, which, however, had repeatedly urged the Persian Government to put into practice its frequent and categorical assurances that the Sheik’s affairs would ■be settled on a just and equitable basis. Negotiations between the Sheik and the Persian Government were reported to be still in progress and His Majesty’s Government earnestly trusted that a solution of this longstanding question would bo found without further delay.
