§ 4. Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of making it clear that the 1091 subject of the treatment of minorities in all countries can, in the opinion of the British Government, be most effectively dealt with through the machinery of the League of Nations, and that it is not desirable to isolate particular minorities for special treatment?
§ Mr. ButlerHis Majesty's Government have on many occasions made known their interest in the observance and effective working of the procedure laid down by the Council of the League of Nations for the operation of the minorities treaties in force.
§ Mr. ManderMay I assume that the Government are not in favour of some particular minority such as the Sudeten-Deutsch being picked out for the purpose of hostile propaganda?
§ Mr. ButlerThe Government will consider each problem as it arises, but the hon. Member may take my answer as representing the general view of the Government to this problem.
