Sir ROBERT GOWERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the question which the British delegate at the 44th Session of the Council of the League of Nations was appointed, with the assistance of the Chilean and Japanese delegates, to study, as recorded on page 6, paragraph 19, of Command Paper 2894, of 1927, was or included the competence of arbitral tribunals set up under the Peace Treaties in relation to national and international laws on the same subject?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Austen Chamberlain)The hon. Member will have seen from paragraph 18, page 6, of Command Paper 2894, that the Hungarian Government requested the Council of the League to appoint two supplementary arbitrators for the Mixed Rumano-Hungarian Arbitral Tribunal in pursuance of the provisions of Article 239 of the Treaty of Trianon. The Committee, of which I am Chairman—that is the Committee of the League of Nations—was appointed to advise what action the Council should take on the Hungarian request.
