§ 46. Mr. Levyasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the criticisms of our foreign propaganda as inadequate; is he saťisfied that everything possible is being done in this direction; and will he consider appointing a small committee of experts in this propaganda to review our machinery for this work, and make recommendations for iťs greater efficiency?
§ The Prime MinisterMy attention has been called to criticism of our propaganda in foreign countries, but I may observe that public opinion in mosť of these countries appears to be favourable to the Allies. The machinery of our publicity abroad is constantly under review and is, I hope I may say, constantly being improved. I am not saťisfied that the appointment of a special committee is either necessary or desirable at the present stage.
Miss RathboneWould it noť be possible to make greater use of the knowledge and experience of foreign refugees who know the mentality of Germany?
§ The Prime MinisterConsiderable use is being made of them now.
