§ 31. Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware of the necessity for appointing a new High Commissioner for Danzig as soon as possible; and whether steps are being taken to expedite such appointment?
§ Viscount CranborneThe answer to both parts of the question is Yes, Sir.
§ Mr. HendersonIs the retiring High Commissioner acting until the appointment of the new High Commissioner?
§ Viscount CranborneI think that is so.
§ Captain Peter MacdonaldWill the High Commissioner have his status restored to him and not have his massages tapped and all his letters to the League of Nations appropriated by the Nazi party in Danzig—not have his whole position in the country made impossible?
§ Sir Ronald RossWill the Noble Lord assure the House that this officer shall get some reward for his gallant efforts to preserve the position in Danzig?
