Captain TERRELLasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the report of the discovery of a large store of arms concealed in a house at Smargendorf, Germany; and whether, in view of this breach of the disarmament Clauses of the Versailles Treaty, he will say what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Lieut.-Colonel STANLEYI have been asked to answer this question. The answer to the first part is in the affirmative. In regard to the second part, the stores in question will be destroyed and the German authorities will no doubt proceed against the parties responsible. The seriousness of such cases is fully realised by the Inter-Allied Military Commission of Control and it may be safely assumed that they will watch and follow up the matter as may be necessary.
