HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 c1501
15. Sir PHILLIP MAGNUS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can arrange for the publication in neutral and, if possible, in other countries of the notice of the interview that he gave to Mr. Edward Price Bell, of the "Chicago Daily News," with a view to informing those countries of the objects and intentions of Great Britain in entering into the War against Germany.

Lord R. CECIL

I understand that the report of the interview has already been published very fully in the Press of many Allied and neutral countries.

Sir P. MAGNUS

Has the report of the interview been translated into the language of the countries in which it has been published?

Lord R. CECIL

I cannot say that offhand, but it has appeared in a very large number of newspapers belonging to neutral countries, and particularly, also, in Germany.
