GERMAN AGGRESSION
ANNEXATION OF BOHEMIA AND MORAVIA Question of Recognition by Britain 'STRONG PROTEST BY LABOUR PARTY MR CHAMBERLAIN’S ATTITUDE CONDEMNED (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.28 a.m.) RUGBY, May 26. The possibility of action involving or implying a recognition of the German annexation of Bohemia and Moravia and the circumstances in which gold held by the Bank of England on account of the Bank of Internationa] Settlements, and representing deposits by the former Czech National Bank, came to be released for transfer to the Reichsbank, were two of the principal questions"discussed in the House of Commons today on the motion for the Whitsuntide recess.
Mr A. V. Alexander (Labour), opening the debate said Mr Chamberlain’s statement that he could £ive no assurances as to whether recognition of the annexation would be given without the House being first consulted was a matter of very great concern to the Opposition. He urged that a statement ought to be . made by the Government that no such action as some of them feared would be put into operation. Such a recognition, he said, would be entirely contrary to the principles of the League of Nations.
