Britain to Uphold League Policy

Mr. Chamberlain Assures House of Commons London, Feb. 28.

The Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, was asked in the House of Commons if it was the intention of the Government to work, by all possible means, for the establishment of the League of Nations, as it was originally visualized.

He had informed the House last Wednesday, he replied, that it was the hope of the Government to see the League reconstituted such a form, and on such a basis of membership, as might enable-it to rely upon being able to use its powers for the functions for which it was originally intended.

The Government, Mr. Chamberlain stated, would do all in their power to bring about such a state of affairs.—Wireless through Reuter.
