HC Deb 15 May 1918 vol 106 c343
25. Mr. ALDEN

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he is aware that the fourth number of the "Polish Review," a quarterly periodical established to advocate the cause of Poland, has been prevented from going to America; whether this is due to the censorship of his Department, and, if so, whether he will institute an inquiry as to whether this number of the review contains any matter which would be likely to injure either the cause of Great Britain or of the Allies?

Mr. MACPHERSON

It is considered that the circulation of the "Polish Review" in foreign countries would be likely to injure the cause of Great Britain and the Allies, and copies found in course of transmission from the United Kingdom are accordingly stopped by the Censors.

Mr. ALDEN

Has my hon. Friend read any issues of the "Polish Review"?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have read two of them, and that is quite sufficient.
