Dear Brigham
General Sir Neil Ritchie, KCB, KBE,DSO, MC, ADC, late Commander-in-Chief Far East Land Forces has been asked to lecture to the Royal Central Asian Society on Thursday 17th November, 1949.
The General has chosen for the subject of his lecture "Some Current Military Problems of the Far East", and I attach a draft of his lecture, to this letter.
Since subjects of a political and economic nature are naturally touched upon, I would be grateful if you woula be so kind as to read through the contents and let me know as a matter of urgency whether you consider any parts should be altered or left out.
I am also sending a copy of the draft lecture to Mr. R.H. Scott of the Foreign Office.
J.D..Higham Esq.,
Colonial Office.
