HC Deb 14 July 1937 vol 326 c1288W
Captain Graham

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can state the strength both of the adult Nazi and of the Hitler youth movements in Tanganyika; whether he is satisfied that their activities at Mweka and elsewhere in the territory are consonant with the proper development of British culture in British mandated territory; and whether he will recommend some restraining action on the part of the Tanganyika Government?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

My hon. Friend can rest assured that the Government of Tanganyika maintains a careful watch on the activities of these organisations and would not hesitate to intervene if they engaged in subversive action. There have, however, been no indications in the reports from the Governor that any such action has been attempted. I am asking the Acting Governor to furnish a report on the particular incidents at Mweka to which my hon. Friend refers, together with the details for which he asks in the first part of the question.
