PROTECTION OF MINORITIES
P&LAND DISSATISFIED RECONSTRUCTION MEASURES URGED (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, September 13. (Received September 14, at 1 p.m.) An announcement that Poland refuses any longer to collaborate with the League’s international organs for the protection of minorities in Poland was made by the Polish Foreign Minister (Colonel Beck) in the League of Nations Assembly. Colonel Beck protested against the inadequacy of the present system. He urged that the League should include in its agenda for next Assembly a comprehensive reconstruction of the existing regime on a more durable and well-defined basis. He added' that Poland would continue to protect her own minorities. The Treaty of Versailles made provision for embodying in a further treaty provisions deemed necessary to protect the interests of inhabitants who differed from a majority of a population in language or religion. In accordance with this minorities treaty, which was signed later, Poland’s minority population came under the protection of the League.
