§ Mr. Prittasked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been called to a book recently published under the title of "Is To-morrow Hitler's?" containing criminal libels on the peoples of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and on their Prime Minister, accusing them inter alia of wholesale assassination and terror, of cruelty and savagery, worse than that of the Nazis, and of readiness to betray their Allies by making a separate peace with Hitler, with Stalin as his Gauleiter; and whether he will prosecute the persons responsible for its publication?
