8. Lieut. - Commander FLETCHER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received official intimation as to whether the German Government endorses the recent speech and actions of Herr Greiser at Geneva?

Viscount CRANBORNE

On 6th July His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in Berlin was informed at the German Ministry for Foreign Affairs that the substance of what Herr Greiser said in the public session of the Council of the League of Nations held on 4th July would have the support of the whole German people.

Lieut.-Commander FLETCHER

Did the Ambassador make it clear that the High Commissioner of Danzig has the full support of the Government in his actions taken on behalf of the League?

Viscount CRANBORNE

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary made our position perfectly clear at Geneva.

Mr. THURTLE

Can the Noble Lord say whether Herr Greiser's gestures have the full support of the German Government?
