§ 107. Sir J. LONSDALEasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the two leading waiters' organisations, the Ganymede Society and the Geneva Society, were entirely controlled by enemy aliens and had all their capital invested in Germany, the headquarters being in Berlin; and if any steps have been taken to wind up the British branches of these organisations or to eliminate the enemy influence and control?
§ Mr. PRETYMANNo steps have been taken under the Trading With the Enemy Amendment Act with regard to the societies referred to, but I am having inquiries made.
§ Sir J. LONSDALEIs my hon. Friend aware that the whole of the funds of this society are invested in Germany?
§ Mr. PRETYMANI am having inquiries made. My attention has not been called to the matter before. It is not an ordinary company, but something more in the nature of a friendly society.
