§ 3. Mr. RAMSBOTHAMasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the proposal that all the nations who are signatories to the Kellogg Pact should be invited to add a rider giving the Government of each the authority, if and when necessary, to prohibit the export of mineral products to any nation violating the Treaty; and whether he will consider the possibility of taking action on these lines?
Mr. A. HENDERSONI understand that a proposal of the nature indicated by the hon. Member was recently made by a distinguished scientist. So far as States Members of the League are concerned, any such proposal is superfluous, in view of the obligations imposed by Article 16 of the Covenant.
