§ 36. Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Minister of Information if, in view of the obvious value to the Nazi cause of the British Press and B.B.C. continuing to give prominence to the German version of the news about the Russian advance, he will issue daily informed and confidential advice to the Press and B.B.C. stating the facts accurately and thus placing the German propaganda in its proper light.
§ Mr. BrackenThe Ministry of Information have no news about the current progress of Russian operations which is not simultaneously available to the British Press and B.B.C. through their own resources. The Russian official communiqués and Marshal Stalin's Orders of the Day deal only With accomplished facts and they can be relied upon to put in their true perspective all the efforts of German propaganda to anticipate the news.
