§ 3. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether in view of the reluctance of the German Government to reply to the recently submitted questionnaire until the future of the League of Nations is more clearly known, he will take immediate steps to indicate that, so far as this country is concerned, we shall place behind collective security the whole of our strength and resources without reservation or qualification?
§ Mr. EDENThe attitude of His Majesty's Government towards the support of the principle of collective security is already well known, and I do not feel that it is necessary to add to the recent statements which have been made on this subject.
§ Mr. MANDERIn view of the unfortunate uncertainties which still exist on this matter in the country, will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that whatever other countries may do, we shall have a clear and courageous policy of collective security?
§ Mr. SANDYSSurely our strength should be put before and not behind collective security?
