HC Deb 28 October 1919 vol 120 c451
3. Mr. CLOUGH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware of the active propaganda now being carried on in the United States by Sinn Feiners, with a view of influencing public opinion against this country by false and exaggerated statements; and whether any action is being taken to counteract the efforts of these agitators?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Opportunity is taken whenever possible to correct misapprehensions and to contradict false statements in relation to the action or policy of this country.
