2. SUSPECT INFORMATION TOP SECRET THE COMMITTEE had before them a minute by Major General Sir Stewart Menzies suggesting a procedure for examining and reporting on suspect information. CAPTAIN LIDDELL said that it would be difficult to arrive at any firm conclusions from an examination of suspect information without some yardstick by which to distinguish positive Soviet deception measures from other misleading information such as propaganda, rumours, or from anti-Soviet organisations and agents. BRIGADIER BOUCHER said that much information of this nature was received in the War Office, most of which was considered either to be part of a war of nerves or inspired by rumours caused by "cold feet" in countries fearing Soviet influence.
