§ 48. Mr. KINGasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that, as a result of the strict censorship upon War news giving information, neutral countries have received more reports of military operations and other news from German sources than from the Allies and that this reacts in discouraging the cause of the Allies among neutrals generally; and whether he will consider the permission for more and earlier information being sent by cables and otherwise for the benefit of neutral countries?
§ The PRIME MINISTERCareful attention has been paid to this question, and I have every reason to think that neutral countries receive an adequate supply of news from the Allied countries. The second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. KINGWill the Prime Minister make inquiries through our diplomatic representatives as to whether feeling in neutral countries is satisfied on this point?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot undertake to do that.
