COAL INDUSTRY
INTERNATIONAL ACTION. (British Official Wireless.) Received September 3, 9.5 a.m. RUGBY, September 2. At tho meeting of the Council of the League of Nations yesterday the British delegate, Dr. Hugh Dalton, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, welcomed the decision to set •up a committee of Inquiry on international co-operation. He intimated that the British delegation would move a resolution in the Assembly dealing with international action on the coal question. . An interview on this subject with Dr. Dalton is published in ihe New Leader, in which the Minister emphasises the need for securing the international regulation of tho coal industry. Dr. Dalton adds: “In order to buttress securely tho standards of wages and hours in this country we need international conventions regulating these matters in all important coal-producing communities of the world. Such international conventions are not a substitute for Labour’s policy of nationalisation at home, but an essential supplement to it.”
