Foreign Service and Civil Attaches

There is nothing to indicate that any of these Attaches is working consciously for the Germans, nor even that they are pro-German in sympathy. But a neutral Attache like who is anglicised and genuinely sympathetic to the Allies, constitutes in one sense a greater danger to Security than one who is unfriendly. For he will be much better able to make friends with officers or officials who have important information in their possession, and the latter will be more likely to talk freely with him than with a less pro-Allied character.
