PklrV) Your telegram No. 755 [of 4th August : dispute with
Russians over censorsmp or printed matterj.
rht^i 0 / /o Go1
I approve the action reported in your paragraph 5.
2, I agree that retaliation is fully justified by the
circumstances. But before we embark on it, I suggest it might
be well to try to induce Soviet Embassy to call the battle
pfi. You might take the line that censorship of this kind
is now out of_ date and ought to be discontinued; and you
could add a hint that, if it is not, this is a game at which
two can play. There may be little chance of the Russians
agreeing, but we should be on still firmer ground if \/e do
eventually have to have recourse to retaliation.
5. Subject to the above, I agree to your acting as
proposed in your paragraph 4. You should, however, renort
to me by telegram if you avail yourself of this discretion.
