§ 91. Mr. Russellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has seen a four-page leaflet, which he has been sent, which is being distributed to householders entitled "Civil Defence—What You should do Now," and published by the Peace Pledge Union; and if he has any comments to make on it.
§ Mr. EdeI have seen this pamphlet. Although it contains gross distortions of fact, I am advised that I have no power to prevent it being circulated. As I have explained on numerous occasions, the defeatist attitude of the pamphlet is quite unwarranted by the facts.
