§ Mr. FINNEYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to a resolution of the Burslem Branch of the League of Nations expressing profound satisfaction that the assembly of the League of Nations is to meet in Geneva on the 15th proximo, declaring its conviction that the future of the League and the peace of the world depend on the spirit in which the deliberations of this gathering are conducted and the weight which can be given to its decisions, and urging that Great Britain should emphasise the importance of this meeting in every possible way, and, in particular, by including in the number of her representatives at the conference the Prime Minister himself; and whether he can indicate the Government's intentions respecting the same?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, the selection of the three prospective British representatives already announced is evidence that H.M. Government fully realise the importance of the first meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations.
