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 con-
ditions 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.
