§ 43. Mr. Marcus Samuelasked the Minister of Information whether, in order to improve our relations with the people 1344 of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, he will arrange to broadcast at frequent intervals the truth about our standard of life, and that it is a rising standard, using as a basis the words, facts and figures given by Mr. W. J. Brown in his recent broadcast entitled "As Well Off Under Hitler"?
§ Mr. SamuelIs it my right hon. Friend's intention to allow Russia to go on announcing the wonderful conditions in their country, while Mr. Brown has shown that ours are the best in the world?.
Mr. CooperI cannot think it would be a good way to improve our relationship with Russia to prove that we are better off than they are.
