My dear Grindle,
Many thanks for your letter of the 19th
September, and the hints contained therein, regarding the
League of Nations Commission. They will be very useful.
I am glad to hear that the members appear to be reasonable
people. I quite agree that it would certainly be fatal to
attempt to keep them in blinkers, and I will see that
nothing of the kind happens. I agree that it is rather
awkward that the Chairman wishes to employ a "secret
agent"," but it cannot be helped. The danger, of course,
is that he may get into wrong hands. People in the East,
even more than in the West, are so often ready to give
such a person the information that they think he would
like to receive, regardless of its veracity.
However,
we will try and ensure that he gets reliable interpreters.
It is a difficult question, and I am as anxious as anyone
to have the thing properly aired, and to obtain the best
advice.
I have been
somewhat leisurely
