73. Sir F. HALLasked the Lord Privy Seal if the Government have received any particulars of the reported indiscriminate killing of Haiti natives by American naval forces; if any representations on the subject have been addressed to the American Government; and if the Government will consider the possibility of taking steps to secure the reference to the League of Nations of the whole question of American administration in Haiti?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)Allegations with regard to the subject raised by the hon. and gallant Member have reached us. But they have not been of such a character as to justify either of the steps suggested in the question.
Sir F. HALLDocs the hon. Gentleman recognise the fact that, so far as America is concerned, they take great notice of what we are doing in the case of Ireland, and will he get in touch with the United States and tell thorn, as far as we are concerned, that the same attention should be paid in their own country to what they are doing themselves in Haiti?
