OFFICE OF S.TRATIOIC SERVICES
INTEROFFICE MEMO
DATE; October 22, :).942
FROM; . Lt H. S. Hughes
464
Colonel William 3. Donovan
SUBJECT: Foreign Service
I had a talk with Major Bruce yesterday about the suggestion
that I should Co abroad on SI work. Major Bruce informed me that
vacancies for someone with my linguistic background existed only in
the London Office. We agreed that my serving in that office would
represent only a slight change from what I was already doing here,
especially since R & A has already established a London branch.
Furthermore, my work with Mr. McKay is developing in such
form thnt it looks as though I shall have a prograr of pretty inten-
:dye study of the Russian Front set out for this winter and spring,
and it would seem inadvisable to interrupt this program. I have
c,athProd thht, under thene conditions, it is the opinion both of
rejor rrnice nnd of Mr. McKry that I might properly remain in my
preperi 7onition for the coming months at leas+. This corresponds
ts) my own wishes in the matter.
Thank you very much vor the very kind intr-rest you have
shown in t-ic whole question. I do not tc convey the impression
trt I am nnt, 'It your Oisposal at any iime for any special duty to
v.irh !rn LE,sit,:n me.

Reduced to simplest terms, the PT boats would
perform the same function on the surface as the torpedo planes,
carried by the same vessels, perform in the air.
A broader use of torpedo boats in this fashion
could be accomplished by the construction of naval auxiliary
vessels with speed sufficient to keep up with the task force -
constructed like the modern whaling ships, with a runway in
the stern so that the torpedo boats could slide through the
stern into the water.
If you think the idea of any worth, do with it
what thou wilt.
Your armchair strategist,
