Major DAVIESasked the Patronage Secretary to the Treasury whether the War Aims Committee and the Ministry of Propaganda have both published pamphlets regarding the Lichnowsky memoranda; if so, whether he will explain why one of the pamphlets is disposed of gratuitously and the other is sold for 6d.? and whether he will take the necessary steps to prevent overlapping and competition between the War Aims Committee and the Ministry of Propaganda?
Captain GUESTBoth the War Aims Committee and the Ministry of Information have given wide publicity to Lichnowsky's revelations. The 6d. edition is a verbatim translation of the complete text. The smaller pamphlet, issued gratuitously, quotes the most striking passages. Both productions have been in great and constant demand. There has been no overlapping nor competition, the scheme of distribution having been centralised and carried out on comprehensive lines to meet the requirements of all classes.
