HC Deb 16 July 1918 vol 108 cc886-7
30. Colonel YATE

asked the Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury how many lectures have been arranged for on the subject of the war aims of our enemies as exemplified by Lord Denbigh's map; and what measures are being taken to bring home to the people of the country who do not read books and pamphlets on the subject the real aims of Germany against ourselves in this War?

Captain GUEST (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)

The number of war aims meetings held and arranged up to 3rd July is 10,665, included in which is a large number of meetings specially designed on the lines referred to in the question. The subject of the real aims of Germany has been dealt with in a large number of the speeches already delivered, and speakers will, of course, continue to do so. The maps referred to have been printed in various sizes, and 1,251,826 have been distributed.

Mr. HOLT

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that Lord Denbigh publishes a pedigree showing himself to be of enemy origin, and will he warn people against looking at maps and reading books emanating from this tainted source?
