§ Squadron-Leader Hollisasked the Minister of Information whether he is aware that the recent statement of the relative sacrifices of this country and the U.S.A. in the war, was widely boycotted in the American Press; and whether steps are being taken to ensure that the facts contained in it are brought to the notice of the American public.
§ Mr. E. J. WilliamsThis was a report made by a joint British-Canadian-American Committee to the Combined Production and Resources Board, each of the three countries concerned arranging for the simultaneous release of the document to its own Press. Responsibility for bringing the report to the attention of the American public therefore rests with the American authorities, though it will continue to be our policy to inform the people of the United States of the full extent of the British war effort.
