§ 45. Mr. WISEasked the Prime Minister what is the cost to the country of the United Kingdom being one of the League of Nations; and if he will consider, with a view to economy, at a meeting of Prime Ministers of the Empire next month, the desirability of withdrawing from the League, as the United States of America is not a member?
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN (Leader of the House)I would refer my hon.

The answer to the latter part of the question is in the negative.
