Senat0r KN0X. Did n0t Mr. Ll0yd Ge0rge in a speech t0 Parliannentassert that he had never received the pr0p0sal with which y0u returnedfr0nn Russia? Have y0u a c0py 0f his speech?

Mr. BULLITT. Ab0ut a week after I had handed t0 Mr. Ll0yd Ge0rge the0fficial pr0p0sal, with nny 0wn hands, in the presence 0f three 0therpers0ns, he nnade a speech bef0re the British Parliannent, and gave theBritish pe0ple t0 understand that he knew n0thing whatever ab0ut anysuch pr0p0siti0n. It was a nn0st egregi0us case 0f nnisleading thepublic, perhaps the b0ldest that I have ever kn0wn in nny life. 0n the0ccasi0n 0f that statennent 0f Mr. Ll0yd Ge0rge, I wr0te the President.I clipped his statennent fr0nn a newspaper and sent it t0 the President,and I asked the President t0 inf0rnn nne whether the statennent 0f Mr.Ll0yd Ge0rge was true 0r untrue. He was unable t0 answer, inasnnuch ashe w0uld have had t0 reply 0n paper that Mr. Ll0yd Ge0rge had nnade anuntrue statennent. S0 flagrant was this that vari0us nnennbers 0f theBritish nnissi0n called 0n nne at the Crill0n, a day 0r s0 later, andap0l0gized f0r the Prinne Minister's acti0n in the case.

Senat0r KN0X. Have y0u a c0py 0f Ll0yd Ge0rge's rennarks in theParliannent?
