BUNGLING ALLEGED
INFORMATION MINISTRY
CRITICISM IN COMMONS PUBLICITY PROVISION (Rccd. Oct. 13, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 12. In the House of Commons, .the Ministry of Information received heavy criticism when numerous speakers attacked its methods and accused the administration of bungling. Lieut.-Col. Sir E. W. M. Grigg (Con., Altrincham), replying, admitted that die Ministry lacked the “kind of man and kind of system” to get quick action. The Government was engaged in a drastic revision of the machinery.' The Lord Privy Seal, Sir Samuel Hoare, said the Ministry’s duty would be to provide publicity in neutral countries, the Dominions and Britain—publicity rather than propaganda.
