A DOUBTFUL LETTER.
GERMAN PUBLICATION. QUOTED IN THE COMMONS. A. and N.Z. Tabic. LONDON, March 6. In the House of Commons to-day Mr. John Dillon, Nationalist member for Erst Mayo, asked whether Britain had impressed Roumania by pledges of assistance, which she was unable to fulfil. He quoted a letter alleged co have been written by Lord Hardinge, ex-Viceroy of India, to Sir George Buchanan, British Ambassador to Russia, apparently seized among mails and published in Germany, stating, "M. Bratiano, Premier of Roumania, has always been one of the most evasive fel- 1 lows, and is even now endeavouring to wriggle out, upon the pretence that our offensive in Salonika is not everything desired." Mr. J. T. Macpherson, UnderSecretary to the War Office, said Mr. Dillon ought to read a doubtful letter with great hesitation. Ho asked whether Mr. Dillon quoted the letter with Lord Hardinge's permission.
