HC Deb 25 June 1917 vol 95 cc30-1
78. Mr. KING

asked the Under-secretary of State for War whether, in view of the books entitled "Defeat" and "The Fiddlers" being held to be detrimental to recruiting and of the large editions published of these works, it is intended to prosecute Mr. Arthur Mee, the author, and the publishers of these works?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No, Sir.

Mr. KING

Why not, seeing what a lot of damage they have done?
