TO: General Donovan
SUBJECT: Personnel for Planning Croup and Secretariat, London Mission
and quickly.
4. I do not believe that there are any Questions on
London's need for a strong Secretariat, For the Planning Group
more detailed information can be given than is felt necessory in
this memorandum. The principal functions that Ivisualize the
Planning Oroup performing are those of an overall coordinating unit
on plans and operations, uhich will insure each branch and each
operation taking the fullet advantage of the information, material,
and thinking made� available by th lgton headquarters.
5, It is hoped that the personale' requested can be
released from their present assignments so that they can be dis-
patched to London immediately when transportation Is authorized.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I. In accordance with your instructions, I am setting down on
paper the sitvation in which we find ourselves in relation to our
Tc_ble of Personnel Allotment,
2. This Table is in complete suspension and the only clear way
I can put forth the facts is chronologically. Therefore, it will
be necessary to repeat some of the history of our Table of Allot-
ment.
3. After considerable jockeying beak and forth with Washington,
we arrived at a tabulation that Washington indicated to us was
completely satisfactory and which we felt could be fully justified
to the Theatre Commander. This tabulation, together with complete
supporting information of the projects in which we wished to engage,
was presented by you to General Devers, through General Crockett,
on July 1.
4. On Tuesday, July 6, General Crockett advised me that he and
General Devers had approved oul 1.?able of Allotment and our schedule
of projects, and that these were being sent to Washington together
with the Tables of Organizatirn and Allotments for the European
Theatre of Operations as a whole, for final approval by the War
Department, Washington, D.C. It so happened that our Table of
Allotment was submitted at the dead line date that General Devers
had established for the other organizations under his command.
Therefore it was possible to have our Table go forward with General
Abbott, the G-1 of this Theatre, for final clearance in Washington.
5. About the time General Abbott arrived in Washington, General
Devers received a letter dated July 14 from the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(copy attached) requesting General Devers' comments and recommenda,-
tions on an OSS proposal which had been submitted to the Joint Chiefs

To Britadier-General William J. Donovan from Colonel 0.S. Vanderblue
of Staff some time in March of thiu year.
Thio propoo covered
OSS operation3 in this Theatre.
6. Upon receipt of the letter from tho Joint Chiefs of Staff,
General Deverg recalled his approvnl of our Table of Allotment and
brojects and requested that we prepare answers to the questione
asked of him by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The answer was to be in
cablegram form.
7. Before these queutiono could be answered this office received
a letter, dated July 2. from Hq. OSS, Washington, D.C. (copy attached)
advising that a last minute revision had been made in the personnel
allotted to us, both in number and in grades and ratings. We were
advised we would have to conform to the revision. This presented us
with a problem generated by ourselves,
8. To comply with the instructions from Washington it required
that we recall from the Theatre Commander the Table of Allotment
previously presented, and substitute one reduced in number of person-
nel. Inasmuch as our complete presentation was in General Abbottlo
hands, who was in Washington, it was not possible apparently to
recall the Table of Allotment. It was hoped to effect the same by
incorporating into General Devers' answer to the letter of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff of July 14, a etabement of the number of personnel
General Devers approved for thin Miosion for this Calendar Year.
The nulber of personnel stated was the revised figure sent us from
Waehington in their letter of July 2. A copy of the cablegram is
attached, which we prepared as a suggestion for Gen.Deveru to send.
9. That action may create some confusion as General Abbott has
with him the Table of Allotment showing 1190 people, whereas General
Devers' cablegram states 770. For your information attached are
photostats, marked 1 and 2 :
to Number 1 is the Table of Allotment originally presented
Gamma Devars, and which General Abbott now has With him;
Egaller 2 is the revised Table of Allotment made in
accordance with OSS Washington's letter of July 2.
10. We feel that it in owing to General Abbott to have someone
fully familiar with the recent circumstances discos the situation
with him, particularly that of the two Tables of Allotment that are
now in the picture.
11. It le further recommended that General Abbott substitute

It is still too early to estimate the full political effects of
the tiseelution of the Comintern announced in Noseow on May 22, This
action focusses attention on the traditional role of Russia in nationalist
power-polities. Thus the dissolution will eneourage those groups in
Various oountries who have long before this ear looked to Nationalist
Russia (as pussia, Ot as a Communist society) for aid and protection ,
and eenversely, will further antagonise those groups mho fear nationalist
Russia. In Bulgaria, Jugoslavia, Grime, and in Western Europe, notably
in France, important upper and middle class groups will feel freer to work
with Russia against Germany. In the lands bordering Rusuia on the West
from Rumania and Poland to Finland, the dissolution will help to keep such
upper and middle class groups more firmly tied to Germany than ever, There
is no indication that the dissolution has anywhere ih Europe discouraged
communist parties firma their firm resistance to Hitler.
Three appointments of diplomatists accredited to governments in 'utile
are signs that Axis stook is continuing to fill. The Vatican has sent a

one to the Royal Norwegian government in London, and the Turks have sent
one to the Greek government in Cairo.

The deadlock in the negotiations between De Gaulle and Giraud was
broken this week and an agreement between the two leaders appears tout
to be achieved. Following a meeting on Mikr 24 with General Cavroux� who
had just arrived from Algiers, the Fighting French National Committee
issued a public statement that no important differences remained between
Commissioner for Foreign Affairs; and Philip,
De Gaulle and Giraud and that De Gaulle accompanied byllassigliaCemmis-
stoner of the Interior cld Labor, would so to Algiers this week to set
up with Oiraud a contra French authority. The proposal contained La

on the eawtern front. It has already been active fighting partisans behind

Hitler has decreed that all foreigners of German blood who are members
of the Gorman armed forces, the Waffen-SS, the German police or the Todt
Organisation, are to obtain German nationality. Fifty thousand Germans with
foreign nationality (Auslandsdeutscho) are now under arms.
6. POLAND
Although Germany is persisting in its policy of conciliating the
Poles and separating them from Russia and Russia's allies, there is no
indication that Polish resistance to the Germans is abating or that rela-
tions with Russia or Czechoslovakia have disintegrated further. From Poland
come reports of the assassination by- Poles of several German officers and
civil officials, the firing of a German barracks, the derailment of German
troop and freight trains, and of fierce fighting in the ghetto of Warsaw.
No important change has been reported in Polish-Russian relations although
the Germans have continued to produce new "evidence" of Russian guilt in the
Katyn "aassaares" of Polish officers. The Polish diplomatic mission has
left Russia; the representation of Polish interests has been assumed by the
Australian Legation in Kuibyshev. The Foreign Minister of the Polish Govern-
mint-inp-Eaile, Count Raczynski, issued on May 25 a discreet reply to the
Czechoslovakian Government's statement suspending negotiations with the
POlieh Government. He declared that a Polish-Czechoslovakian confederation

smiler be directed against Russia; he affirmed the intention of his government ,

S. SOUTHEAMAU EUROPE
In three countries of South-eastern Europe, Hungary, Bulgaria, and
Greece, there are increasing indications of the strengthening of upper and
middle class groups opposed to Germany. Excopt perhaps in Hungary, where
thore is a certain fear of Russia as a pan-slav expansionist power, the
dissolution of the Comintern has further strengthened these anti-German
groups.
In Bulgaria 'Willett) have appeared urging the Bulgarian people not
to let themoelves be dragged by their government into actual warfare on the
Ws tide. These leaflets come, not from the usual communist source, but
fro* an orgsnisation of reservist officers which may be the old ADamianu
group brought to life again. �Damian" was anti-fascist, anti-monsrchist,
and a proponent of Balkan tederation on democratic Western line.. There are
continued rumors of a Bulgarian cabinet crisis, and notably, of the approach-
ing dismissal of Gabrovsky, pro-German Minister of ths Interior.
In Hungary, the newspaper lugala continues its openly hostile tone
towards German minorities. It is reported that Marschall, an old supporter
of Horthy knoen for his strong insistance on Magyar independence from German
pressures, may be given a cabinet position. The openly Marxist - but not
Communist - Left continues to be hoard in spite of the suspension of perliament

9. ITALY
Paitical developments in Italy during the past week were over-
ehadiWed by the campaign of intense bombing directed by the Allied Air
ionise against the Italiah islands. Mhat effect a continuation of these
tactics will have upon the Italians and their rulers remains to be seen.
At the moment definite straws in the wind can be observed and thv suggest
that the Italians do not enjoy their experience any more than civilians
of other muntries who have gone through the same thing. Thus Gayda writes:
"civilised man can only consider this development, uhich means the anni-
hilation of great cultural values, and immense humpn misery, as a tragedy",
and he affirms that the Axis did not wish it thus. The emphasis given to
.Bastianinits moderato speech last week is also indicative of the chastening
effect of the new military situation. In an English broadcast during the
week the Italians drew a oomparieon between the speeches of Churchill and
Bastianini. While Bastian spoke of flecenomic and political liberty in the
international field", while Churchill said "We have won the whole of Africa,
which will never again fall into the hands of the Italians". A Swedish
observer says the atmosphere in Italy is lees oppressive than in Germany and
the reSiscin he gives is that the Germans fool that if the Russians are
victorious the Germans would be obliterated from the face of the earth,
while the Italians r alise that if the Americans and the British invade they

several of his colleagues here to prepare a memorandum bearing
upon an inquiry which Mr. Phlllips had just received by cable
from Colonel Donovan: The inquiry requested comments concerning

In respon2e to Mr. Phillips' request, I submitted a brief
note looking not so much to the past relation of London SA to
this enterprise, but rather to the future.
I have not seen Mr. Phillips' letter to Colonel Uonovan
but I have no do'ubt that to some extent portions of my memorandum
will be included in that letter. Nevertheless, I would like
you to see it In lbs entirety because this particular point belon6s
to you also, and you may find in it some idea with respect to our
future operation.
I myself see a great opportunity in North Africa to move
straight into the operational theatre and incidentally an
opportunity to bring undr our control and supervision the various

The following comon(8 might be given to Colonel
Donovan from SA London in �)arLial reply to his recent cable.
In London, =):\ 1t1S opel.dtHd under certain disndvnntagos.
Only for a short time has it been in a position to receive
any production from its own sources, 1.e. during trip very few
weeks while we had representation in Dnoccupled France.
During the whole period since the first of Julie, we have
only occasionally received a cable from Lishon or from T-nrierf;,
the only cable communication we have ic1 from Steel:11(1m was
one message sent by Professor Hopper to colonel Donovan when
the Latter was here in Juno.
Information from Sweden therefore hns proroeded
directly ond almost exclusLvely to Washington, and the same
has been true of Portugal. It was of great advantage to this
office that it did from time to time receive from krance
valuable intelligence at the same time that *ashington received
it. Thus, in several inst:inces we were able to give to our own
armed services and to the British 6.I. v.'ry good and precise
information indeed, more quickly than any other agency was able
to develop it. This was particularly true of detailed, accurate
reports concerning the physical damage done by American Elying

Fortre3ses on two (I* their air raids.
It has always been a question whether this office
could or should conduct or supervise operations of Its own
from here. Until now on the whole the judgment in Washington
has been that we do not have the facilities to operate services
-from London and thereJ'ore it has seemed best to leave ouch matters
(where they have always been) in the hands of the geographic
desks at home.
The situation In North Africa is quite otherwise. This
is not British soil and therefore, with respect to operatJons
based on that territory, it Is not a question or asking British
pormi!Jsion to establish our own phys Lull facilities, nor is it a
question of employingH 1 1-._sa1 t
� p.4-8 1041 means of placing agents
on the continent) nor would we hove io ask rormission to fly
British or American planes in our service from British air ports.
Not only are these factors which restrain our operations
from England absent in the case of North Africa, but the operation
is in theory and in fact pric,rily American, and is under American
command. It would therofore seem logical and indeed highly
desirable that we establish at a suitable point or points in our
North African theatre our own inteillgence service operating to
and from the southern part of the European continent. it is a
very well known Pact that the services operating from the United
Kingdom are In the last analysis bound to operAe under British

to British Intelligence suporvision. 60motimes the control
is negative, inconapicUous and fPiendly, as in our own case.
Nevertheless We ore to a consideable degree conducting our
affairs here in LOndon on sufferance and from Lime to time
events or communts have reminded ua of our position.
Not only therefore should we estabjish our own substantial
intelligence service operating out of North Africa in this
Atilerican theatre of operational command, but following the
situation which prevails. in London wP should bring :01 the
intellipenee serVices now operattng or wise ing to operate uut
of that territory under the 8aMe kind of sUpovvisioD and the
same degree of control as has been exercised by the British
over foreign intelligenee services operating out of the United
Kingdom.
A8 here, 60 there. The prociae relations with the
different foreign services Will differ according to circumstnneem,
and witheut doubt we can establish and consistently maintain
relations with British 8.I.G. there as friendly and as profitable
ad. they have been ih reverse here. The principle, however, seems
tO rile to be clear. It also seems to me a matter of major
importanoe

1. Personal seouri:tr is simply a matter of habit: the habit of
disoretion and awe, followed naturally and without thinking.
Inseourity is therefore plain carelessness for a considered
indisoretion would be treaohezy not inseourity. Thus it is the
responsibility of each individual to train himself in seoure ways.
The most secure person is the one who does not want to know, and
does not seek to eknow anything which does not particularly oonoern
This is not oasy, 'bemuse the most important secret items are often the
coos with the highest curiosity value.
The 'habit of mourity must be thorough in all oirounistanoes. If the
enemy .is going to try to obtain valuable infortnation, it is certain that
he will do it in the most insidious fashion so that one will least suspeot
it. Therefore, it i care in every&ky routine and oonversation where
danger is least evident, that makes for the greatest security.
2. The first rule of personal security is an obvious one, and at the
same time, a oruoial one. Nothing that is learnt within the off'ioe should
lx?...s3okenof outside the office, � This applies to intelligenoe, to disoussions
of peoplelto any information whatever that was learned in or about the offioe.
No one oan presume to judge what part of the knovrledge he may have is
important or seoret; it is the small bits of 'information that pieoed
together make up the intelligenoe of value to the enemy. One must assume
that all one hears within the office is seoret and not to be discussed.
it,bad mistake that many people fall into is to assme that if they
hear intonation from sanecine else or even read it in the papers that it
itmiediately beocaes a free 'subjeot that can be generally discussed. This
IS whol3AY:PrrOneroue. -Important seoret intonation does get out, does get
disoussed, does ever i get in the papers but is not recognized as being seoret,
is oontused with ;Allier and contradictory ataternents, or is forgotten unless
oantinualky discuss ed.

Althongh me are not malting an effort to hide ocapletely the identitt of
or the address, it is neoessaxy to avoid making the office and
-Abe address ociuspiouous. The less notiae that is given our address and
a.,�:11:10eatics: the less ouriosity is aroused about our 'aotivities, and the more
AtioeftIlia our listassy-oolvert we definitely considor ourselves an extension
ltsbasst. Therefore the following is 'suggested:
(a) TMEPHCIIE: Our Mayfair 8444.�ntsaber should be oonsidered an
number. As such it can be given to anyone. When
M-Tibasay,reoeive calls for our people they refer them
to Mayfair 8444 as another part of the Embassy.
(b) MAIL: It is strongly-urged that the Amerioan Embassy,
MKT Grosienor Square, be both�Our official and personal
address; that the address 71/2, Grosvenor Street, not �
appear on stationery of any outgoing mail. Here again
regular oontaots will know of the address ani dispatch
riding mail can be delivered directly to the door. At
the same time we have a regular messenger-courier
servioe between the Embasw and c:tur offioe so that mail
will not be delayed if delivered, to the Embassy. This
applies not only to official and personal mail but also
to dcmestil and foreign. (Our personnel are all registered
at W-Iltba� L�s7fly 4, Copies of this notioe will go to the
several branches in Washington so that they will use the
Embassy as an official addrasi and it is strongly Urged
that for zersonal mail from the U.S. the Embassy address
be used.
(o) INTERVIEWS: Mr. Phillips! roan in the Embassy, No. 104.
is av ;Ile almost any time during the day, - with prior
word to Us office - for interviews which should not be
held. in our own offioe. Alternatively, the person may
be asked to, call at the Embassy and v,tien� the Fkibassy
dc tman rings down to announoe the arrival it can be
re ,uested that the visitor be directed to our offioe
and he oan be interviewed on the greund floor in
roan 11, 12 or 13.
6. The nature of the work: The important feature of individual security
and, discussion outside the office is that one should not appear to be doing
secret work or arouse ouriosity by appearing suspictious. For instance, it
is moat unwise to say that one is in "hush-hush" activities or in other
ways invite further questions. Rather it is important for an individual
to pass off any questions regarding his work lightly and yet not give
anything avay. For security purposes. one should develop� the habit of
parrying indiscreet questions adroitly. The following may help in replying
to questions about what you are doing.
Many oasual enquiries can readily be passed off by answering that you are
NorkinAldth the Enbassy". This will satisfy people 'who have no oonnexion

In the course of his ordinary activities in London, the
head ef OBS, aside from the contacts heretofore enumerated,
must deal with the heads or various British governmental
departments, including the Director or Naval Intelligence,
the Director of Military Intelligence and the Director of
Air Intelligence, 8,8 %YUJI as with the Minister of Economic
Warfare and various other cabinet ministers.
tions with the Foreign Office are usually carried on with
tha Undersecretary of fooreign Affairs..
He must have, for reasons that I need not enumerate,
4CCOSa to Prime Minister Churchill's personal staff repre-
sentative, Major-Oenoral ismay, and to the Prime Minister's
civilian seeretary, Mr. Desmond Morton.
Ir, case the head of the OSS Office in London does not
possess the rank of a full Colonel, it would be infinitely
preferable that ho be a civilian.

A 1r4 .4 �
oATetAugust 19, 1942
promised this morning to send you a memorandum regard-
ing the assienments of corvine officers to SA/ B London.
Before hie departure, David Bruce gave me the following
description or these aseignments:
Major Harold A. Jones - British Coastal Command
Major Jones ia suppoeed to leave today. It
is assumed that when Major Jones goes on
another mineion, another officer will be as-
signed to this poet.
Commander Junius S. Morgan - Naval Intelligence
Commander Morgan will wait until Major
Bruce's return, and expeota to leave around
September 5.
Captain William H. Jackson - The R.h.F.
Captain Jaokson is expected to leave early
in September.
Oaptain Stacy Lloyd - Military Intelligence
A higher ranking officer will be assigned
to this post and Captain Lloyd will work
under this officer's direction.
I understand that Captain Lloyd's orders will not be put
through until after Colonel Buxton's return, and we have
had an opportunity to confer with Colonel Buxton regard-
ing the matter referred to in Mr. Phillip's cable 12134.
In the meantime, you will wish to read cable 18141 from
London which reached me today. You will note in this
cable that Shapardson is very keen on having Commander
Morgan, and expresses the hope that thin appointment has
been officially approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
and that Eisenhower and Stark will be notified in advance
of Morgan's arrival.

SUBJECT: Notes on personalities and problms in London.
One of the persons in the entourage of the Prime Miniuter
who can be helpful is Major Desmond Morton, political secreLary
to the P.M. Despite the name, he has no Irish connecLions and
is rather sensitive on the point. He is a sLaunch conservative
and a lay Catholic with excellent connections with the Cardinal
and the hierarchy. Ho fancies himself as a groat expert in psy-
chological warfare and acts as a behind-the-scenes contact man
in all compartments of psychological warfare. he is a focal center
for gossip and although not brilliantly inteiliant has a keen
mind intuitively and an awarenesb of how to deal eriectively wita
contrasting personalities lie has a special interest in Fmnce
and tends to be rbther anti-French or at least impatient wiCh
DeGaulle and the complex French intrigues in London. He lives
with and is extremely friendly to Lieutenant Colonel Nigel Sutton
whO is head of the French secLion of PWE. Morton was extFemely
cooperative with us in the early days but has tended to become
rather cool of late.

the early days have of late broken off their contacts because they
carry out their liaison on American matters directly with the
military people.
Eden has of late shollin increasing
pathy to political warfare affairs. At the
and Mack are also friendly and helpful.
In connection with the Foreign Office, I feel it impor-
tant to call attention to Winant's sensitivity about his role as
the "sole representative" of the Government of the United States.
With London full of all sorts of American officials and high ranking
officers of the armed service, Winant has been pushed around a
little. Hence rather careful consideration of his sensitivity
and strict observance of protocol in dealing with the Foreign
Office would probably be helpful. Another reason for watching
one's step in this connection is the presence at the Embassy of
a number of minor officials who take every opportunity to run

Naturally I shall make no comment at all on military
pen and affairs. The only ones directly within our province are
lrigadier Dallas Brooks, Brigadier Gubbins, and Brigadier Menzies.
Brook.% an officer of the Royal Marines, is the member
lof the PWE Advisory Committee who maintains liaison with the Chiefs
of Staff. He is a formal, rather stuffy, not overly bright

C7
operate for PWE which has no men in the field and also to do the
ifblack" work in MOI territories. The tole of "G" is very much in
H, -(14estioa at present, at least in regard to his activities outside
, the directly "security" field. A real effort seems to be underway
, to blast him out of his present position. At SOE the Keswick
brothers and Lord Glenconnor are quite good. Lcrd Gage is very poor.
0 Bracken has shown little interest in PWE since the
Standing Ministerial Committee was abolished and he was given
administrative control over PWE. Be visited the "Country" only
once and has not been seen at Bush House. His good will, however,
was indicated by his putting pressure on Air Marshall Harris
, to get aircraft for PWE leaflet work.
, The man really dangerous to us at Mar is Radcliffe,.
the Director General, who not only has been trying to squeeze
PWE'to the wall but has been openly sabotaging Anglo-American
relations in the field of propaganda, partly because he is sin-
cerely anti-American and partly to wreck the pioneer wprk in
44,nglo-American cooperation successfully carried out by P.
Radcliffe feels there can be no basis for operational liaison

he devotes his activities to the most real kind of Anglo-American
competition. He feels that the interests of the countries basically
conflict in almost all the neutral countries. It would be valuable
to conciliate him, if possible, especially by giving him the im-
pression that he is considered the typical "strong silent man"
whose absence of social graces is compensated by great virility
and ability. The man who really runs foreign operations at MOI
is Kenneth Grubb, a former Protestant missionary who spent many
years in Brazil. He is remarkably able, ruthlessly fanatical,
with a real intuitive genius for intrigue and semi-subversive
work, especially in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin AmericL. With
a very small budget he does many times better in this field than
the Rockefeller people with their large budget. Grubb can and
should be flattered. He can do great harm unless he is won over.
Grubb was trained intellectually for the task of trans-
ferring his activities from selling God to selling England by
his close friend, Rae Smith, an American, former European head
of J. Walter Thompson, who is perhaps the most brilliant idea
man in the whole British political warfare set-up. Smith practi-
cally created the "planning system" in its present form and when
he was a member of the PWE Planning Board now defunct. Smith
has resigned from PWE and now has some sort of vague connection
with MOI. He fears that PWE has gone into a decline which can
be arrested only if America takes vigorous initiatives in this

formerly was. He was n'imed to his post in ordcr to rt move the

There are many indications that Lockhart intends to

of view) and to replace him at the "Country" with Bow0:-Lyon,
which would remove him from active competition. Amont; examples
of Lockhart's -Uctics is the fact that he pigeonholed Bowes-Lyon's
ad interim report from Washington, did not show it CVell to Leeper
and let it be assumed that Bowes-Lyon was merely idling and sending
in no material from America. Lockhart also disregarded Bowes-
Lyon's requests for cooperation when he was in Americ.1 and apparently
did everything he could to interfere with the succesL, of the mission.

Lyon' deputy, deputy, Sutton and Crossman, the heads of the French and
German sections.
Another person who plays a role is Ivone Kirkpatrick,
a Foreign Office man ormerly a leading "appeaser" who is now
political controller of BBC for foreign broadcasts. He is alFo
a member of LockhartPs Advisory Cwamittee. In the past he has
shown many signs Df lack of good will toward us or rather toward
America in general. In comon with Brooks and Sutton, however,
he is of the traditional civil service type which yields unquestion-
ingly to higher authority I believe a strong line should be
taken toward him.
The most important problem in London in general is to
repair trio damage done by vigorous rumor-1ongerin6 against the
COI. In this task Ninant can be of great help. Tne British
are formalists in administration and I think the more formal the
basis of any discussions the better wilL be the .impression created
all around. In the same way things should be kept on the highest
possible hierarchical level aithouch personal visits and contacts
to the operational centers would effectively supplement the
high policy discussions.

in London, would be enormously helpful. Nor does it matter if
these contacts are nothing more thdh courtesy calls. illreactical

(a) effective exchange of policy and operational
intelligence.
(b) cooperation in leaflet activities.
(c) provision by FIS of wireless transmitte25 for
British use.
(d) clarification of cooperation in the Far East.
(e) permanent establishment, with clear definition of

(f) reexamination of the role of "G" and of the part

F. The impression is current in some quErters in

propaganda and political warfare picture, and tLat he and his

provinces other than their own. There is no doubt about the
'fact that the large masses of valuable operational material which
' were turned over to the British through "G" never reached their

indiscriminate and unsystematized alternation between our own and
the "G" channels of communication of politibal warfare as opposed
