Following from Carter
1 • Ae hr.ve been giving some consideration to the
arrangements which have now been evolved for peri >dical reporting
ty you and Shone on political and other developments in India a.nd
Pakistan, do find y .' ) ur weekly review of events most interesting
and valuable, and greatly admire the way in which you were able to
get arrangements for periodical reporting into working order so
quickly notwithstanding smallness of your staff. The following
suggestions arc based on our experience of handling these reports
.and those we get from Shone at this end. V, r o have had in mind two'
considerations, namely that we should be enabled adequately to fulfil
the requirements of H.M.G. for information without placing an undue
load on your staffs, especially at a time when pressure of work is
so heavy and secondly, so far as is reasonably practicable, that
reports from both High Commissioners should be prepared and supplied
on same basis, lie feel that these objects can be best served if in
1 uturc reporting by both High Commisieners were brought into
accordance with the scheme described in paragraph 2 of the enclosed
memorandum.
2 * _ The effect of these suggestions w add be to
introduce modifications in your present practic mainly in th^
foil .wing respects:-
(^•) do feel it important that we should have a summarised
monthly appreciation (vide paragraph 2(a) of the memorandum). It
was this requirement which we had in mind in paragraphs 6 and 7
of draft telegram enclosed with my letter of 15th^AugUst; but
whereas it was there envisaged that this appreciation should be
submitted every fortnight, we now consider that, having regard
to the other material which you will be sending us, it will be
sufficient^if it is .submitted monthly. This would be a self-contained
document with a much wider circulation than the weekly reports. This
answers the question asked in your Savingram No.23 of 15 th September"
I apologise for the delay in replying to this.
Fart (i) of the proposed.Opdom will take the place of the
weekly telegram on the communal situation which y,u send us at present:
L-ut it will, of course, have to cover a wider field md acc rdin'lv
will be somewhat longer.
(c)
Part (ii) of the proposed Opdom sh aid be on the same lines
