Grey stated that Britain’s negotiations with Russia sought to remove all possible causes of quarrel, but the degree of friendship following such agreement depended not on the Foreign Office, but on the sentiments of the two people. He admitted as regards Sugar Convention that unless Britain proposal was accepted the Convention would be broken

up. In tho House of Lords the Butter Bu was road a second time.
