Transcription: Left page   5 -By telegram to-day Loveday raises the question of transferring the monthly statistical Bulletin to Princeton. This would involve the statistical Year Book being published there next year. I have long been considering the measures necessary in case the communications were cut and am inclined to think that my plan of waiting until force majeure made it impossible or undesirable to continue publication here, is practical and practicable. I may however agree to Loveday's proposal. 5 -Dr. Park to-day reports by telegram that the Health Office there can no longer effectively work and proposes either the closing down temporarily or transfer to Australia. The material coming from Singapore has become insignificant since the Pacific war broke out and it will probably be a long time before any substantial service can be resumed. I propose to let Park go to Australia on the same conditions as the men who have been sent to USA. He may there examine the conditions but I do not believe there is anything to be gained by attempting to continue the service from the last report dealt with Macao only. It is sad to see this office going out of action but we shall continue the circulation of epidemic statistics from here as far as possible. I do not like to leave that field exclusively to the German controlled office. 6 -If the Portuguese gate should be closed for corres-pondence and communications, I shall have to make a new examina-tion of the situation here to see what is possible and useful. I hope that our policy of holding headquarters, which is and has always been regarded by me as mainly a political decision, will continue to be justified when I am even more completely cut off from our people abroad. I have also taken for granted -and I am sure rightly - that the intention of the S.C. and of yourselves was not merely that the person of the ASG and a small administrative staff should remain in Geneva, but that all prac-tical activities useful to States Members should be carried on. 7 -I hope all this does not give the impression that I see our problems without a sense of proportion. Would you be kind enough to forward the enclosed letters to Jacklin. If you have time to glance at them, you might get some more information about some of our affairs. Perhaps you would also let Jacklin forward the letter to Loveday. With kindest regards and best wishes for 1942, Yours sincerely. Right page Dear Arthur, 17-12-41 I have been thinking about you during the last ten days since the new war developments. It is perhaps 100 soon yet to see how these will affect your work, but I can well imagine that there will be intense developments of the war effort which may divert or temporarily slacken the interest in the post-war problems. I hope not but am inclined to think that as the war has become very real and as the opening round was not all that might have been desired, we may see a little impatience with people trying to look beyond the immediate problems. It would be very desirable that while the national effort is developed and contemplated, that the real objective of war which is peace be ignored and its problems entirely left aside. --should not 2-We have come to the end of another year and our organization is still healthy and active, although I am feeling more and more the effects of the heavy economies imposed on us which, as we now have no elasticity, prevent much to be desired developments. The dispersal of the staff between Princeton, Washington and London has added to diffi-culties on one side, but give me a good deal of gratification as a counter balance to the policy of steadfastly holding the seat of the League. I was rather moved the other day to hear of three prominent men who had collaborated in Loveday's work and who are still in occupied countries having separately expressed opinions showing how much hope they attach to the future for the Organization and to its having maintained a bridgehead in Europe. Others, not so far away who a year ago were hopeless or indifferent, have lately formally expressed somewhat similar opinions. 3-We have gained a year which often looked problema-tical, but there is still much water to flow under the bridge. We are again having our periodically recurring anticipation of developments which may affect our work and our situation through the question of communications. If that happened, we shall be facing a whole series of problems and most of them it is impossible to foresee and provide against. They are inherent in the policy of not abandoning the post; if that were to occur, there would be a reflection in different degrees of these problems with our colleagues abroad. would have the greatest confidence that such circumstances would not of course in the slightest degree affect the essential loyalty to the Organization. At any rate, Loveday and yourself would help to maintain the morale of the waverers if any. I

Transcription: 22/12/41 Dear Roger, I enclose copy of a note dated the 1st December, No. 93 from Loveday, which may be of some little interest to you even though you yourself were at the ILO conference. 2 - Reference to this matter in paragraph 10 of my letter to Loveday is partly influenced by the fact that for some months prior to his departure, Loveday had been impressed with the advantages of his work being transferred to the ILO. It was not, however, seriously discussed at that time and indeed I recall a message from HMG. to Avenol later in 1940 expressing strong opposition to any such proposal. 3 - Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the same letter have arisen out of the trouble between Loveday and Charron, formerly the very best of friends; there came a split in the summer of 1940 and to a great extent it seemed to me more than justified, but I wanted in spite of that to maintain a practical working relationship between the Princeton branch and the remains of the section here. An attempt to get this led Loveday to write me an impressive warning. 4 - You will notive in the last paragraph 7 of Loveday's letter that he talks of a meeting of the Economic Committee, or the Economic plus the Financial Committee. I had asked that this be kept in mind at the S.C. meeting last August, but Loveday then did not think it was desirable or practical. I have the feeling that if such a meeting were held, it would be very desirable to have it held in London. I have long been uncertain and somewhat unhappy that Loveday depends for his relationship with  ... - now the seat of half-a-dozen Governments - on chance visitors to the United States. Perhaps I am wrong and perhaps he is keeping in much closer touch than I fear. He has as I said in a previous letter opposed the suggestion by me that some one should be detached by him to maintain liaison in London. If he himself could pay occasional longish visits to London, that would meet the case. Perhaps my apprehension is much exaggerated, especially as Loveday himself should be and is well balanced. If the war took no turn which made it undesirable, the ideal thing probably would be for certain members of the staff at Princeton to work in London whilst the staff relating more to intelligence questions kept their temporary headquarters at Princeton. I am taking the opportunity of a personal letter to mention this question.
