Intelligence Responsibilities of the Political Warfare Executive. Note by Sec.

In conclusion I venture to make two general observations: 1. The Political Warfare Executive has developed, as an indispensable instrument for its operations, a type of intelligence work that, beginning as a by-product, can now be justified in its own right. Just as the economic intelligence work of the Ministry of Economic Warfare has proved of such value that provision has been made for its permanent incorporation in the machinery of government, so I suggest it is in the permanent interests of government, and of foreign policy and relations in particular, that there should be equipment to continue the type of day by day analysis of political, social and morale intelligence concerning foreign countries which the Political Warfare Executive has evolved in the course of its war work.
