§ 70. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that witnesses in Liberia who gave evidence before the League of Nations Commission which visited that country are being victimised as a result; and what action the League Council propose to take in the matter?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)The allegations to which my hon. Friend refers were brought to the notice of the Liberian representative at the meeting of the Council of the League on the 6th February; they were also, in part, the cause of the representations made by His Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Monrovia on the 7th March to which I referred in my reply to my hon. Friend on the 10th March. They have been denied by the Liberian. Government. My right hon. Friend will continue to communicate to the Liberia Committee of the Council of the League any information on this subject, which may reach him. I cannot, of course, foretell what further action the League Council may take.
