§ Major GLYNasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Reparation Commission have been able to return to the International Sleeping Car Company a large number of its cars that were used by the Germans during the War; and whether the consequent shortage of this rolling stock is causing serious curtailment of through-route traffic in parts of Europe outside Germany and Austria?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe Reparation Commission and the Committee for the 1201W Division of German rolling stock are actively engaged in giving effect to the relevant Clauses of the Treaty of Versailles, but I have no information concerning the cars of the Sleeping Car Company as distinct from other rolling stock. I am informed that the Sleeping Car Company has not failed to supply cars required for through traffic outside Germany and Austria.
