§ 96. Mr. ELLIS SMITHasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that recruiting for the German army and labour corps is taking place in the free city of Danzig; and whether as this is a breach of the undertaking given by the President of the Senate on two occasions to the League of Nations not to infringe the constitution of Danzig as guaranteed by the League, he will take up the matter with the League of Nations?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe proper authority for bringing any matters affecting the situation in Danzig to the notice of the League of Nations is the League High Commissioner in the Free City, but His Majesty's Government have no information that he has felt it necessary to draw the League's attention to any situation such as that indicated in the hon. Member's question.
§ Sir J. SIMONI am making no statement about that, but I know the High Commissioner very well, and I am sure he may be relied upon to the fullest extent to inform the League of any development of which notice ought to be taken.
