Far East. Intelligence Organisation In: Note by Secy. Covering Telegram

1940

ANNEX. Copy of telegram from Commander-in-Chief, Far East to Air Ministry dated 6th January, 1941. IMMEDIATE. GHFE.138. 6/1. Following for Chiefs of Staff from Commander-inChief Far East. Recent visit to Hong Kong completes my view of Intelligence organisations in Far East. Weakest link undoubtedly is S.I.S. Organisation. At present little or no reliance is placed upon S.I.S. information by any authorities here and little valuable information in fact appears to be obtained. I am satisfied that identity of principal officers at Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore is known to many.
