§ 59. Sir P. Hannonasked the Minister of Information whether his attention has been called to the declaration embodied in his Christmas pastoral letter by the Bishop of Berlin, Count von Preysing, attacking Nazi philosophy and demanding that justice and right should be the governing principles among nations, of which a copy has been sent to him; and whether this pronouncement has been broadcast to the German people?
§ The Minister of Information (Mr. Brendan Bracken)The answer to both parts of the Question is "Yes, Sir."
§ Mr. DribergWill the right hon. Gentleman also send a copy of this admirable pastoral to Lord Vansittart?
§ Mr. SorensenIs it possible for copies of all these various pronouncements by anti-Nazi German bishops and others to be placed in the Library for our perusal?
§ Mr. BrackenIn so far as we can lay our hands on them, certainly I shall adopt that suggestion.
§ Sir P. HannonHas the right hon. Gentleman any information as to what effect these broadcasts have upon the German people?
§ Mr. BrackenIt is very hard for us to estimate what effect broadcasts by German bishops have upon Germans.
§ Mr. SorensenWhat effect do broadcasts by English bishops have here?
