asked the Prime Minister whether he has any information as to a possible coming Royalist coup in Germany; and whether he will make it clear that the Allied and associated Powers, so far as he can direct them, will regard any restoration of the Hohenzollern or Wittelsbach houses as an unfriendly act?

Vague rumours have from time to time reached His Majesty's Government, but no definite information of the nature referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend has been received. The second part of the question is hypothetical; and nothing would be gained by discussing now the policy which would be adopted by the Allied and Associated Powers in the improbable event to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers.
