§ 18. Mr. Thorneasked the Prime Minister the text of the Anglo-Polish Naval Agreement; whether the agreement has been reported to the League of Nations; and whether it is on lines parallel with those entered into with Germany and Russia?
§ Mr. ButlerArrangements are being made to publish the documents comprising the Anglo-Polish Naval Agreement in a White Paper as soon as possible. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative. This agreement follows the lines of the London Naval Treaty, 1936.
§ Mr. ThorneHow is it that the Government can get these agreements with Poland and other European countries on many questions, and cannot get a political agreement with some of these people and avoid war altogether?
§ Mr. ButlerThe hon. Gentleman has no doubt seen the instance of a political agreement recently made, and I only wish that he would support the Government in these agreements.
§ Mr. ThorneI will do that when it is a genuine one.
