63. Brigadier-General NATION

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government have yet decided to submit to arbitration the case of the motor-ship "Omar," which is detained by the Finnish authorities?

The SECRETARY of STATE for LEAGUE of NATIONS AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)

The matter is still under consideration, but my right hon. Friend hopes to be in a position to make a statement shortly.

Brigadier-General NATION

Will my right hon. Friend do all he possibly can to make an early decision in this matter which has been on the tapis for a very long time?

Mr. EDEN

I will, but the matter concerns several Departments of His Majesty's Government.
