HC Deb 22 March 1939 vol 345 cc1251-2
3. Mr. Mander

asked the Prime Minister whether he will request the Secretary of the League of Nations to publish the terms of the letter of appreciation and good will addressed by the Government of the United States to that office at Geneva recently concerning the technical organisations of the League?

The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Butler)

I understand that full facilities were afforded by the Secretariat-General of the League of Nations to representatives of the Press at Geneva to give publicity to the letter of 2nd February, 1939, from the United States Secretary of State to the Secretary-General of the League of Nations. Extracts from the letter appeared in many organs of the British Press on 23rd February.

Mr. Mander

In view of the importance of this letter, will the right hon. Gentleman make arrangements to place a copy of it in the Library or circulate it in some way?

Mr. Butler

If it is for the convenience of the House I will arrange for a copy to be placed in the Library.
