§ 2. Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Council of the League of Nations is considering the recommendation of League members to cut off the supply of arms and munitions to Bolivia and Paraguay and also, if necessary, to Colombia and Peru; and, if so, whether there are any countries not members of the League who are now exporting arms to these four nations?
§ Sir J. SIMONI am not clear as to what "recommendation" my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind. Discussion of the question of the imposition of an arms embargo in the Bolivia-Paraguay dispute was suspended by the Council of the League of Nations in view of the decision to despatch a League Commission to investigate, and has not been resumed pending the receipt of the report and recommendations of this Commission which should shortly be laid before the Council. As regards the Peru-Colombia dispute, I would remind my hon. and gallant Friend that negotiations for a final settlement are still proceeding in accordance with the terms of the agreement signed at Geneva on the 26th May last. In the circumstances the last part of the question does not arise.
