Empax Telegrams. Note by the Secretary

V. INDIA All the evidence both from India and elsewhere shows that the Cripps Mission has not been in vain. On the mere plane of publicity, the fact that the offer was made has greatly simplified the handling of the problem. VI. SPAIN Omit for Madrid. An example of recent American economic assistance is seen in their agreement to release a small quantity of rubber, the Allied shortage of which is considerable, If there should unfortunately be a leakage of this information, it should on no account be connected with the Allies' own need for wolfram, mercury and woollen goods, since this knowledge could only cause the Germans to renew their pressure on Spain.
