§ 5. Mr. LUNNasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Assembly of the League passed a resolution on 21st September, 1922, expressing the hope that States which are not bound by any legal obligations to the League with respect to minorities will nevertheless observe in the treatment of their own racial, religious, or linguistic minorities at least as (high a standard of justice and toleration as is required by any of the treaties and by the regular action of the Council; and whether he will request the Council of the League, under paragraph 4 of Article 4 of the Covenant, to draw the attention of the German Government to this resolution?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As to the second part, I feel sure that the German Government, who have always displayed a lively interest in minority questions in Geneva, are already aware of the terms of the Resolution to which the hon. Member refers.
§ Mr. LUNNDoes the right hon. Gentleman propose to raise this matter at Geneva on his next visit to the League of Nations Assembly?
§ Sir J. SIMONIf there is an opportunity of calling attention to it, I certainly shall.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODIs it not specially incumbent upon us to raise this question?
