tion of the complete texts would reveal many instances of messac;es which 

sound serious in the extract but are rather trivial in the whole. Some 

are highly questionable even from the extract, as for example:

5. Point.3B is the fundamenta.1 questionmark·in the U.K. po.sitton. 

This statement made 1fi thout qun.lification or further comment in nny form 

represents a,.n assumption rather than a fact. This as::ml'\ption runs counter 

to the known: 

a. Connnunist infiltration o~._ ___ .... rnd 0th.er NATO nations. 

b., Elaborate public press and·- radio reporting of all NATO 

nations - particularly the U.S. 

c. Recent oral report by Mr. Elliott a.nd Ur. KeD-y.

very nearly true, the course of action which the U.l{. \_insists upon wou.ld
