§ 50. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether the Supreme Council have considered consultation with the Governments of nations other than our Allies of the late War, with a view to checking the continued rise in prices of the necessities of life by joint international action; if so, what decision has been reached; when will consultation take place; and, if not, how it is supposed that anything effective can be done without the co-operation of all nations concerned?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe Supreme Council have considered the economic questions from a general standpoint, and I believe that the conclusions they have arrived at, which will, I hope, be published to-morrow, will command assent in every country. I hope that an opportunity for the further examination of these questions by representatives of all countries will be afforded by the International Conference which, it is hoped, will be convened shortly by the League of Nations.
