HC Deb 13 December 1928 vol 223 c2338
80. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can report any action by the Council of the League of Nations in reference to the threatened dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Godfrey Locker-Lampson)

On the 11th of December the Council unanimously adopted a resolution for communication to the two Governments by the President of the Council. The text was as follows: The Council of the League of Nations meeting at Lugano for its 53rd session expresses its full conviction that the incidents which have occurred between the two members of the League of Nations will not he-come more serious. It does not doubt that the two States which, by signing the Covenant have solemnly pledged themselves to seek by pacific means the solution of disputes arising between them, will have recourse to such methods as would be in conformity with their international obligations and would appear in the actual circumstances to be most likely to insure, together with the maintenance of peace, the settlement of their disputes.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Has any reply been received?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Not that I know of.
