COUNCIL DELIBERATIONS.
PRISONERS AND PERSIA
LONDON, June 17,
At a public meeting of the Council of the League of Nations, held in London, Lord Curzon, who presided, described the correspondence exchanged between Persia and Bolshevist Government. He considered Persia acted rightly in negotiating with the Soviet, and requested Prince Firouz to keep the Council informed of the course of events.
Dr. Hansen reported on the repatriation of prisoners of war, of whom he said there were still a quarter of a mililion in Russia, and there was an equal number of Russian prisoners throughout Europe. The difficulties of repatriation had hitherto proved insurmountable. He hoped that the new route to the Baltic would enable the repatriation of 6000 to and from Russia before winter.—Reuter.
