Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action has been taken by the Refugees Committee of the League of Nations to afford assistance to Russians who have sought refuge in Poland owing to religious persecution; whether such action was taken as the result of reports received from the Polish Government and, if not from what source the information as to the plight of these refugees was obtained; and if he will lay upon the Table papers on the subject?
