RIGHTS OF MINORITIES
LEAGUE OF NATIONS’ DUTIES The League of Nations made itself responsible for the protection of minorities in various countries, said the Rev. W. G. Monckton, in a lecture on Minorities and the League, at the luncheon of the Auckland branch of the League of Nations Union yesterday. The treatment of minorities had been a troublesome problem right through history. The difficulty to-day was that if a minority were given the right to have its own language taught in the schools of a country it did not become absorbed in the nation. The League’s principle was that if a minority was considerable enough it should have its own schools and Press.
In the case of the Greeks and the Bulgarians, racial bitterness made it more desirable that Greeks in Bulgaria should go back to Greece and the Bulgarians in Greece should go back to Bulgaria. So the League had set up an impartial commission.
