§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any application has been made by the Red Crescent Society for permission to transmit medical necessaries to the Riffs; and whether, seeing that the forces of Abdel Krim are restricted to dressing wounds with olive oil and water, he will sanction the immediate transhipment of lint, drugs, and other necessities?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo formal application of this nature has been received from the Red Crescent Society, but certain private persons have made inquiries on the Society's behalf. They have been informed that the French and Spanish Governments are alone competent to sanction the importation of medical stores into the Riff, and that application should be made to these Governments.
