Cairo Propaganda Fund: Payments for Labour Attache and Oriental Secretariat Contacts

A short file of correspondence and financial records relating to the Cairo Propaganda Fund. The documents cover the costs of the fund; money transfers to the fund; and complaints about its use by diplomatic staff to fund covert activities, including intelligence gathering. These complaints note that while it is a breach of protocol for diplomatic staff to engage in their own espionage, the information gained is also useful, and they debate whether to allow the arrangement to proceed.
