§ 46. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government has received, and has refused, the request of the Persian Government to lay its claim before the Peace Conference; and, if so, on what ground this opposition was based?
Captain GUESTThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative and the second part, therefore, does not arise. The position is as follows. The Persian Government sent an Envoy to Paris who sought admission to the Peace Conference. The acceptance or refusal of his application was a point to be settled by the Peace Conference itself and, so far, the Persian Envoy has not been admitted, though Persia has been invited to accede to the Covenant of the League of Nations.
