Subjects covered in this file include the potential scale of radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons; the danger of fifth columnists operating within Britain in the event of war with the Soviet Union; the military strength of Communist China; censorship and leakages of information in the press; the military situation in Korea; Indo-Pakistani relations; British policy to counter the Malayan insurgency; arrangements for the training of Russian-speaking personnel; liaison with American and French intelligence services; and the employment of aliens as cypher clerks.
