INDIAN TYPHOON
When Amb. William Phillips fa-
nous letter advising Roosevelt that
India was U. S. problem leaked
into print, the British government
sent instructions to all British con-
suls in this country to inspire let
ters to editors, plus editorials in the
+local press. One man in New York
! alone wrote 76 letters to different
newspapers. Later, British con-
sulS sent copies of editorials, etc.,
to the British Embassy, with accom-
panying notes, showing what a good
job they had done. In the EN-
bassy, Jossleyn Hennessy, British
public relations man for India, left
off the accompanying notes, sent the
editorials to Sir Olaf Caroe in New
Delhi, so Sir Olaf could see what a
good job Hennessy had been doing.
Sir Olaf then sent them to London.
Sir Olaf also cabled London that
he had been able to keep the Phil
lips letter out of India so far, but
under existing conditions" it was
sure to be smuggled in, in which
ease it would be published by the
Indian press and there was nothing
he could do to stop it. By
existing conditions" Caroe meant
anti-British subversion on the part of
Indian officials who smuggle news
into India despite censorship. Once
inside India, the British can't pre-
vent publication in Indian news
papers.
