• Personal &amp; Confidential.
Dear George:Some considerable time ago I discussed
with Tommythe vague possibility
of approaching new prisoners of
war in Canada with the idea of recruiting them for special purposes.
London have sent us the names of two Italian prisoners··: .
of war,now situated in Canada; who they believe might be suitable
for our special needs .. I shall-be glad to know what your opinion
is now on the possibility
of any approach being made to a prisoner
of war.
Up to now you and. xv:~
..have taken the attitude that ·under
international
arrangements no kind of approach should be made to
a prisoner of war and I was wondering if this still holds good, or
if there has been any let-up on this regulation.
'I wil~·be glad
to hear from you in due course and if you would prefer it'ii{oan
easily be left until I am next in Ottawa when.I could, if you wish,
see the man who is in charge of prisoners of war (either Colonel
FORDHMJI
or STREIGHT.
). •
• Yours sincerely,

H. M. Sichel
