HC Deb 22 February 1933 vol 274 c1711
1. Captain CUNNINGHAM - REID

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any information of the treaty signed recently between Rumania, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia; if such treaty has been registered with the Secretariat of the League of Nations in accordance with Article 18 of the Covenant of the League; and, if so, what its main political and economic provisions are?

4. Mr. McENTEE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can give any information on the pact of reorganisation entered into by the Governments of Czechoslavakia, Rumania, and Yugoslavia?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)

I have seen in the public Press various statements purporting to summarise the contents of the Treaty signed at Geneva on 16th February by the representatives of Czechoslavakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia, and I understand that those summaries are substantially correct. I have not yet been notified of the registration of this Treaty with the League of Nations. The last part of the question does not, therefore, arise.

Captain PETER MACDONALD

Would such an arrangement between these States be a contravention of any existing Treaty?

Sir J. SIMON

Not that I know of.
