§ 3. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is prepared to take the initiative in the Council of the League of Nations in proposing that an offer of advice, expert personnel, and trained administrators should be made to Abyssinia by the League to assist that country in carrying out its undertaking to the League to secure the complete suppression of slavery in all its forma and the slave trade by land and sea?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe Assembly of the League of Nations, in September last, instructed the Secretary-General to collect from the States Members of the League, and from all parties to the Slavery Convention, all possible information on the present position of slavery throughout the world, and to report to the next Assembly with a view to suitable action.
§ Mr. MANDERIn view of the fact that there are in Abyssinia still over 2,000,000 slaves, will he use the great influence of this country in some way to bring that state of affairs to an end, through the League?
