§ 1. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the new League of Nations High Commissioner in Danzig is receiving full facilities for carrying out the duties allocated to him by the League Council; whether, in particular, full and unimpeded contact is permitted between him and the Danzig population; and whether there is any interference with his telephone calls and postal correspondence?
§ The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Eden)I have no reason to suppose that the High Commissioner is not meeting with the co-operation of the Danzig Senate in the performance of his task. He has not, so far as I am aware, reported to the Council of the League on any of the particular matters referred to by the hon. Member.
§ Mr. ManderDo I understand that my right hon. Friend has made inquiries and that that is the position?
§ Mr. EdenIt is not for me to make inquiries. It is for the High Commissioner to report to the Council if and when he thinks fit.
§ Mr. ManderBut did not the right hon. Gentleman say last week, in reply to my right hon. Friend the Member for Caithness (Sir A. Sinclair), that he would make inquiries on this point? Has he done so; and if not, will he be good enough to carry out that undertaking?
