PROTECTING MINORITIES
LEAGUE NOT DOING SUFFICIENT.
POLAND MAKES STRONG PROTEST.
British Official Wireless. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, Sept. 13.
In announcing that Poland refuses any longer to collaborate with the League's international organs for the protection of minorities in Poland, the Polish Foreign Minister, Colonel Beck, protested in the League of Nations Assembly against the inadequacy of the present system. He urged that the League should include in the agenda for the next assembly comprehensive reconstruction of the existing regime on a more durable and well defined basis.
The Treaty of Versailles, he said, made provision for embodying in a further treaty provisions deemed necessary to protect the interests of inhabitants who differed from the majority of the 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.
