Received March 6, 11 a.m. London, March 4 In the Commons, replying to Sir Donald Mac Lean in regard to the Armenian massacres, Mr Lloyd GeorgCjptated that the matter was being discussed by the Allies, and between Government and the British Representative at Constantinople. A detailed statement at present was inadvisable. Mr Asquith urged that full information as far as possible, be given in order to relievo the grave general anxiety. Mr Lloyd George replied that this anxiety was fully shared by Government and all representatives of the Allies. Since it had received the very serious news of the massacres the Allied Conference bad very anxiously considered the matter, and come to a decision which will be communicated to the Allied Representatives at Constantinople. It is -inadvisable at present to publish the character of the decision, which depended on advice received, but Government is fully alive to the gravity of the position, and the need tor taking very strong action to protect minorities as far as possible.
