Grey, Parliamentary Secretary of the For
sign Office, stated in reply that tue Gov
ernment was aware of the mining rlgnts
held 10 Siam. but he pointed out that the
provinces in which the rights are held lie on
the west of the Mekong river, and were not,
therefore. included in the territorial de-
mauds made by France.
The Hon. George II. Curzon (Conserva.
tive) member for the Southport division OF
Lancashire, asked whether France nad
notified Great Britain that she had estao-
lished blockade Of the Siamese coast;
whether the establishment of such BLOCK
ade would De regarded as an act OF oelliger-
ency between France and Siam; whether
the blockade had been, or would be, recog-
nized by Great Britain, and what measures
the government proposed to take In regard
to the matter.
Sir Edward Grey replied that Great
Britain had received from France veroa
notice of the intention OF the French gov
ernment to blockade the Siamese coast.
Tho blockade would certainly be an act Of
belliperency. The British government,
Sir Edward added, proposed 10 continue
Its nresent protection of the lives OF British
subjects in Bangkok, and Of the property
of British subjects The government
thought that the value that attaches TO
declaration Of blockade must vary with the
circumstances of each particular case.
Sir Richard stated that any further
communications he might make 10 the
House must depend upon the communica-
tions now passing between Great Britain
and France. AS to the details OF the block
ade. he must state that the government
had only lust received notice OF the fact OF
