HC Deb 12 March 1918 vol 104 c187W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware of the existence of a movement to boycott, the Jews by means of scurrilous cartoons and leaflets published by Percy Ernest Hurst, Lower Markley Farm, Heathfield, Sussex; and what steps he intends to take to suppress a movement which might cause serious disturbances?

Sir G. CAVE

I have seen a leaflet issued by the person referred to, but it appears to me merely to express the views and prejudices of the author and to afford no evidence of a movement of the kind suggested in the question. Mr. Hurst has been warned, and if any further publications of a similar nature should be issued the question of prosecution will be considered.
