WORLD COAL PROBLEM
INTERNATIONAL ACTION - URGED BRITISH DELEGATE’S VIEW British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Sunday. At a meeting of tlie Council of the League of Nations yesterday, the British delegate, Dr. Hugh Dalton, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, welcomed the decision to set up a committee of inquiry on international co-operation. He intimated that the British delegation would move a resolution in the Assembly dealing with international action on the coal question. , . ... An interview on this subject with Dr Dalton is published in the “New Leader,” in which he emphasises the need for securing international regulation of the coal industry. He adds: “In order to buttress securely the standards of wages and hours in this country, we need international conventions regulating these matters in all the important coal-producing communities of the world. Such international conventions are not a substitute for Labour’s policy of nationalisation at Home, but an essential supplement to it.”
