§ 10. Mr. Greyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has considered the present abuse of Great Britain, and misrepresentation of her foreign policy emanating from Russia; and, in view of the Treaty of Friendship between the two powers, if he will draw the attention of the Soviet Government 2W to the fact that such action is inconsistent with the spirit of the Treaty.
Mr. McNeilMy right hon. Friend regrets the present campaign carried on against this country by Soviet press and radio. It is difficult to reconcile the tone and intention of Soviet propaganda with the spirit of the Anglo-Soviet Treaty of Alliance, Postwar Collaboration and Mutual Assistance of 1942. My hon. Friend, however, may be assured that His Majesty's Government will neglect no means by which misunderstanding may be removed and our policy made plain to the people and Government of Russia.
