“PEACE PROPOSALS”
LORI) TAVISTOCK EPISODE NO EVIDENCE OF AUTHORITY. STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. (British Official Wireless,) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) RUGBY, March 4. The story of the alleged German peace terms, which the Marquis of Tavistock was supposed to have obtained from the German .Minister to Dublin, was the subject of questions in the House of Commons. The Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr R. A. Butler, said no special facilities were given Lord Tavistock to visit Dublin. On his return he published certain proposals, which it was claimed represented the terms on which the German Government would conclude peace. These proposals had been previously communicated by Lord Tavistock to Lord Halifax. Apart from what may have been the merits or demerits of the proposals there was no evidence to show that they emanated from the German Government or that they could be regarded as authentic. Mr Butler added: "I notice that the German Government and the German Legation in Dublin officially repudiated these proposals.” In replying to a supplementary question Mr Butler pointed out again that Lord Tavistock was not acting in any way on behalf of the British Government.
