§ 8. Commander BELLAIRSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what was the nature of the communication from the Secretary-General of the League of Nations to the Governments of the Powers in regard to the passage of a Soviet Russian cruiser and two destroyers through the Dardanelles in violation of agreements; and what action is to be taken?
Mr. A. HENDERSONOn the 9th of October, 1930, the Secretary-General of the League of Nations communicated to the members of the League and the Governments of the United States of America, Turkey and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics the text of a telegram from the President of the Straits Commission intimating that a cruiser and two destroyers of the Russian Black Sea fleet had entered the Mediterranean. As regards the second part of the question, no action is called for.
§ Commander BELLAIRSDoes not this constitute a breach of treaty arrangements, and has that treaty became a scrap of paper?
