§ 41. Mr. Manderasked the Under-Secretary of State for Burma the position with regard to Burma's membership of the League of Nations, in view of the separation of Burma from India; and whether Burma is now a separate member of the League or intends to apply for membership?
Lieut.-Colonel Sir A. Lambert Ward (Treasurer of the Household)I have been asked to reply. In view of the separation of Burma from India, Burma cannot continue to be represented at Geneva by India. Arrangements have, however, been made for her to participate in the affairs of the League of Nations through His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, and in appropriate cases for her to be specially represented upon the delegations of that Government. It is not proposed to apply for separate membership of the League for Burma.
