UNDER THE LEAGUE
INTERNATIONAL POLICE
DISCUSSION IN COMMONS
LONDON, December 14. In the House of Commons, Mr. G. Le M. Mander (L.) moved in favour of the formation of an international police force controlled by the League of Nations. / Brigadier-General E. L. Spears (C.) seconded the motion. He expressed the opinion that this was the only way of achieving security and disarmament. Major C. R. Attlee (Lab.), voicing Labour's support of the proposal, suggested that the example of the Empire policed by an Imperial force might be followed by the whole world. , The Under-Sccret^ry of State for Foreign Affairs, Captain Anthony Eden, . replying, said the day might come whon such a. force would become an actuality, but that was unlikely in the near future. The motion was premature and impracticable, and would only complicate the Government's task in trying to obtain a world agreement to reduce arms. Mr. Mander withdrew the motion.
