Your telegram of 15th May. [1] Have had considerable difficulty in
sorting this matter out. D.W. cables give more detailed
information as to war operations than available to anyone with
exception of the War Cabinet. They are prepared by special
military liaison officer who has access to most confidential
information available to the staffs here.

Has been most difficult to ensure your getting this information
and imperative should not imperil it. Any suggestion of a Dominion
Prime Minister making statements with regard to military
operations or confirming or denying press or radio reports always
raises bogey of secrecy of D.W. cables.

Have accordingly had to move with circumspection but have now
obtained undertaking that every effort will be made to inform you
in advance of any important information to be released and general
indication of form it will take. Impossible to give exact form
owing to the fact that draft invariably not settled until the last
moment before delivery. [2]
