MANDATED TERRITORIES.
NO TRANSFER CONTEMPLATED. Assurance by prime minister. (Omclal wireless.) (Received May 8, 3.15 p.m.) RUGBY. May 7. The Prime Minister was asked a question in the House of Commons to allay the anxieties expressed in the recent declaration by professional business and public men in Tanganyika regarding the alarm among European and Indian native inhabitants caused by the uncertainty as to the attitude of the British Government on the future of the mandate. He replied by recalling the categorical statement he made on April 27 that the Government had not considered and was not considering the transfer of any mandated territory. The Secretary for the Dominions likewise recalled this statement in reply to a suggestion in a question addressed to him that he should enter into consultation with the Dominion Governments with a view to a uniform declaration of policy regarding the future of mandated territories.
