SAAR TERRITORY

INTERFERENCE BY GERMANY.

REPORT BY COMMISSION,

PREPARATIONS FOR VOTE,

(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received November 10, 11.25 a.m. RUGBY, Nov. 9.

Mr R. A. Eden will represent the British Government at a meeting of the Disarmament Bureau at Geneva on November 20 and at the special meeting of the Assembly to consider the Chaco question. He will also attend the meeting of the Council of the League to be held on November 21, when the Saar question will be under consideration.

It has not yet been decided whether Sir John Simon (Foreign Secretary) will visit Geneva for these meetings. The Council meeting will have before it the report published this evening in Geneva containing an analysis by the Governing Commission of the activities on the Deutches Front in the Saar. The report is a long one and offers evidence which, it states, sufficiently establishes continued interference by the German Government in the affairs of the Saar. The German Ambassador called at the Foreign Office and saw Sir John Simon. It is understood that questions connected with the holding of the Saar plebiscite on January 13 were discussed.
