3. The Government of India have also asked for
material for use in the Press and elsewhere as
regards the attitude of Russia, Japan and Italy and
the Ministry of Information were approached about this
over the weekend. The matter was brought to the
attention of Sir Findlater Stewart at the Ministry,
< who pointed out that the Government of India (and
especially the Viceroy himself) were already being
kept very closely in touch with the situation. He also
emphasised the obvious difficulties, which must be
apparent to the Government of India, in regard to
publicity about Russia, Japan and Italy so long as the
attitude of these countries towards the European
conflict remained undefined, and the danger of tipping
the scales in the wrong direction by making indiscreet
statements in the Press and elsewhere. The Government
of India certainly seem to be making rather heavy
weather of this question but it seems that what they
require is not 80 much additional matter for publicity
purposes, since they must already have almost as much as
is available here, as guidance with respect to the limits
within which this material may be used in the Press or
elsewhere. The Ministry of Information have however
produced a certain amount of further material (see the
enclosure to Mr. Hodson’s letter of 26th September and
note by Sir John Pratt with Sir Findlater Stewart’s Comment
upon it - flagged,) though all this hardly carries us much
further than the arguments with which we have already
provided the Government of India in Forminka telegram
Ko. 103 of 19th September and the Secretary of State’s
telejrra;. Ko. 2021 of 23rd September (flagged). Reference
is also invited to Mr. Billcliffe’s note of 26th September.
