42. Lieut.-Colonel MALONEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to an anti-British pamphlet, entitled, "The Re-conquest of America," published by Gordon Brown and Company, New York, and distributed broadcast; and will he say if any, and, if so, what steps are being taken to counteract such forms of propaganda in view of their effect on the relations which exist between the two great English-speaking nations?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. It is unknown how widely the pamphlet may have been distributed, but in any case no steps seem necessary to counteract what is evidently intended to be a humorous production.
Lieut.-Colonel MURRAYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the letter contained in this pamphlet, alleged to have been addressed to the Prime Minister, is quite obviously a falsification, and that the statements contained in the letter are to the meanest intelligence quite untrue?
