Captain EDEN

The hon. Member is under a misapprehension in supposing that the meeting of the Committee of Three was postponed until after the session of the Council of the League of Nations. The meeting was postponed until 18th September in order to give time for the Polish Government to furnish further information, and the application of the committee, decided upon at its meeting on that date, for the inclusion of the question in the agenda of the Council, was received by the Council while in session on 19th September.
