MINORITIES IN POLAND
SYSTEM OF PROTECTION PROTEST TO THE LEAGUE (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 13. 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 the 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.
