§ 57. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the representatives of India on the League of Nations have been instructed to examine sympathetically the complaints of the Albanian Moslem minorities of the Greek Epirus; if he is aware that 35,000 Moslems are threatened with eviction from their houses and farms; and what attitude the representatives of India, with her large number of Moslem subjects of His Majesty, are adopting in the matter?
§ Earl WINTERTONShould this question come before the next Assembly of the League of Nations the attitude to be adopted by the Indian delegation will be a matter for consideration by my Noble Friend and the Government of India.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask if this matter is being sympathetically considered in view of the feelings of Indian Moslems?
§ Earl WINTERTONI do not think it would be right, speaking on behalf of my Noble Friend, in this House that I should in any way tie the hands of the Delegation, but I can assure the hon. and gallant Member that all matters which are properly the subject of consideration by the League of Nations on this question will be considered by the Indian Delegation in the most full and comprehensive manner.
