12. MEANWHILE I HAVE EMPHASISED TO MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO KEEP CONFIDENCE ABOUT OUR DISCUSSION OF THESE
DIFFICULT PROBLEMS AND TO AVOID ANY PUBLIC
STATEMENTS. I SHOULD ADD THAT SOME OF THEM ARE CLEARLY LONGING
TO MAKE SUCH STATEMENTS WITH LITTLE APPPRECIATION OF THE DEGREE OF DAMAGE WHICH THEY MIGHT CAUSE.
13. HADDON-CAVE IS LEAVING FOR SINGAPORE TODAY WHERE HE WILL SHOW MR ROYLE A COPY OF THIS TELEGRAM, ALSO MR HOLLAND IF HE IS THERE, IN CASE YOUR WISH TO CONSULT THEM.
