Mr. JENKINSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to make a statement as to the situation in Danzig; whether the people have been deprived of the right of free political and trade union association as provided in the constitution; and what steps he is taking as rapporteur to the League Council to ensure that such rights are restored?
§ Viscount CRANBORNEThe general situation in Danzig was described in reports from the League High Commissioner, which were annexed to the report of the Committee of Three to the Council and are being published in the November issue of the League of Nations official journal. Since these reports were written the Social Democratic party of Danzig has been dissolved. The reason given for its dissolution was the discovery of arms on premises owned by the party. As for the steps which are being taken 1065W in connection with the situation in Danzig, my right hon. Friend made a full statement on 29th October last, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
