Useless Farce
Paria, Mar. 6.
Abolish Secret Services is the advice given by the famous French controver- sial Journal "Crapouillot" to Governments seeking to effect ecoriomies In their military budgets.
In a 65-page issue Crapaulliol, probably the most frequently "sted" poper in existence though never yet convicted for libel, described Secret Services as "a faree, and nine-tenths use- lens."
In support of its contention that the experience of military leaders is that Information gathered by the so-called in- telligence Service" is usually false, the journal quoted Field- Marshal Lord Wavell as saying: What 15 1 Commander-in- Chief? He is a man who walks up and down with a worried look waiting for news.
The news arrives. It is false."
It also quoted Sir Basil Thom- son, former Chief of the British Inteligence Service, for the conclusion that only three classes of more-or-less Secret service works are useful:
1. Deciphering of codes by specialists;
2. Direct collection of in- formation in the field by land and air reconnaissance and interrogation of prisoners; and 3. Internal political under- mining-the "Bfth column."
