HOUSE OF COMMONS DEBATES

May 29, 1922

On the Ordersof the Day:

Hon. R. J. Manion: The Washington Times states that the United States government has decided that Wrangel Island is properly the property of Russia and that it should he held in trust until conditions in Russia have become settled. Has this question been drawn to the attention of the Government, and, if so, is any action contemplated?

Mr. Mackenzie King: The matter is now for the first time drawn to the attention of the Government by the remarks of my hon. friend.
