§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Lithuanian Government has replied to the joint note presented to it by the guarantors of the Statute of Memel; and whether any steps are being taken for the setting up of the chamber of representatives and the constitution of a directorate enjoying the confidence of the chamber?
§ Mr. EDENThe Lithuanian Government's reply has been received, and is being considered. I understand that the President of the Directorate recently reopened negotiations with the various Memelland parties with a view to reforming the directorate. These negotiations, however, have proved abortive.
