1 Aug 1942

Its organisation of centres of resistance is generally reported to be thorough and its membership relatively large. It is said to be prepared to co-operate with any genuine elements of resistance, but no concrete evidence of this is available, perhaps because the Communist leaders fear to be betrayed if they confide in British or Gaullist agents.
