§ 66. Mr. SWANasked the Prime Minister whether any replies have yet been received from Germany or neutrals to the 1123 Note of the Allies requesting them to join in a blockade of Soviet Russia; and, if se what was the, nature of the replies?
Mr. HARMSWORTHNo replies have yet been received from the neutral Governments to the Note addressed to them by the Allied and Associated Governments asking them to co-operate in the exercise of economic pressure on Soviet Russia. The text of what purports to be the reply of the German Government was published in the Press on Friday, 31st October. I have no information as to whether this text is accurate or not.
