§ 2. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the text of a confidential circular from the central propaganda bureau in Berlin to its agents abroad, explaining the present aims of the Nazi policy and the methods to be followed by German propagandists in foreign countries, and stating that Germany will no longer endure the diktat of Versailles. and that in the matter of armaments they will accept no supervision even on a reciprocal basis; and will he make representations to the German Government on this matter?
§ Sir J. SIMONI have seen in the Press accounts of the publication in a French newspaper of the text of a circular alleged to have been issued by the German Propaganda Ministry to German representatives abroad. The German Government deny the authenticity of this document. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
§ Mr. MANDERHas the right hon. Gentleman seen the Paris correspondence on the subject, from which it appears that probably the document is perfectly authentic?
§ Sir J. SIMONI am very sorry, but, surely, the hon. Member will agree that His Majesty's Government have no concern with a Press controversy between the German Government and French newspapers.
