§ 46. Mr. Pilkingtonasked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to work by all possible means for the establishment of the League of Nations as it was originally visualised by its creators?
§ The Prime MinisterAs I stated in the House on 22nd February, it is the hope of His Majesty's Government to see the League reconstituted in such a form and on such a basis of membership as might enable us to rely upon being able to use its powers for the functions for which they were orignially intended. His Majesty's Government will do all that is within their power to bring about this state of affairs.
§ The Prime MinisterI meant further additions to its membership.
