Mmommmi FOR MR. amEr:
Review of the Canadian Intelligence Organization
Attached are a series of memoranda dealing
with the following main topics in th© Intelligence fields
Signals Intelligence
Th.e Work of th© Joint
Intelligence Committee
Th© Work of th® Defence
_ Liaison Division - memorandura dated Jun© 8 prepared
for Mr. Raid

Appendix "A"
Appendix ffB"
Appendix "C M - (Paragraph* 1
and 2 list th© security and
intelllgenoe work currently
undertaken In the Division)

I thought it desirable to go into som© detail, partly for
th© record* and partly to give you the necessary background
upon which to judge my recommendations. I also thought it
would be useful to review In this covering memorandum th©
saliant problems at present Involved In th© conduct of
intelligence in Canada, with particular reference to th©
role of this Department*
2.
This Department has two main interests In
taking a leading rol© in intelligenceJ
(a) The formation of sound foreign policy depends In large
measure upon the amount and accuracy of intelligence
available to th© Department. lot only do we require
Intelligence from our missions abroad, but
also all
intelligence which can be made
available from secret sources. In addition w© require
strategic intelligence, which can be provided by the
J.I.G, While strategic considerations may often be
discarded on
grounds, it is important to
take them into aooount in forming foreign policy.
Prior to the creation of J.I.C. in Its present form, a
mechanism for producing collated strategic Intelligence
did net exist in Ottawa. Increasing use should be mad®
of the J.I.C, for this purpose.
(b) The conduct of our relations with Intelllgenoe agencies
in other countries, must be k@pt in line with government policy toward the governments of those countries.
It Is thus desirable for External Affairs officers to
take a leading part In negotiations and talks with such
authorities. In th© past four years, this has been
important in working out relations with

is have, first, been concerned with the creation of an
efficient and workable structure and, secondly, w ith the
training of staffs In the various Intelligence Directorates
so that w© would be in a position to produce finished Intelligence appreciations for the Chiefs of Staff. In addit!on&gt;
a a n « /£•

efforts have been mad© to improve our relations with the
In the intelligence
field, with a view to procuring the maximum intelligence
information both from th© Services and from the
organizations.
4.
As early as 1945 it became clear that this
Department would have to take a leading role In the organization of Intelligence In Canada not only to fulfill our own
interests, but to ensure the effective working of the intelligence organisation as a whole.. In the spring of 1946 th©
Department provided the Chairman for the newly created
Communications Research Committee and in May, 1946, on the
Invitation of the Chiefs of Staff we took over the Chairmanship of the ^oint Intelligence Committee. At about th© same
time, at our suggestion, the Security Panel was formed, under
th© Chairmanship of th© Secretary to the Cabinet, to deal
with interdepartmental security problems. The Panel has
proved valuable in dealing with a variety of lnter-departmental
security problems, which could scarcely have been dealt with
at all without the creation of some such organization. It
haa fully justified the time apent by the Department in
assisting in Its development. As, however, there are no
outstanding problems regarding the organisation and functions
of the Panel, I have not thought it necessary to review its
work here*
5.
Since that tim© th© Chairman
has been able,
with the particular assistance of the Director of %litary
Intelligence and, since January, of the Director of the Joint
Intelligence bureau, to reach a point where the J.I.C. Is
capable of producing useful intelligence appreciations for
th© Chiefs of Staff and for this Department.
6.
Insofar as progress has been mad© in both
th© J.I.C. and In signals intelligence, a good deal has •
depended on the extent to which the Chairman of both the
G.R.G. and the J.I.C. has been able to function as a working
Chairman of both Committees. In both Appendices "A" and "B"
I have examined the question in som© detail. The amount of
time which the Chairman has had to devote to intelligence
since the formation of the Defence Liaison Division in
lovember, 1948, has been much too,limited to permit him to
discharge his functions effectively. While I agree with Mr.
R@id's memorandum of June 27(with which you concurred) concerning th© desirability of maintaining the Defence Liaison
Division, it is nonetheless true to say that th© added res-*
ponsibllitles placed on th© Chairman of the two Important
Intelligence Committees has seriously affected the development
of intelligence work. While he has spent a good deal of time
persuading and assisting other intelligence organisations to
get on their feet, these developments have not been parallelled by a corresponding development in the Department.
While these might b© arguments for reverting to the old
system of maintaining an intelllgenoe section In the Undersecretary's Office, I am of the opinion that a satisfactory
solution ©an be found to the Intelligence problem without
sacrificing the advantages of having intelllgenoe dealt with
in the same Division as defence matters generally,
7.
In this connection it might be worth tracing
the history of the arrangements for intelligence and security
in the Department sine© I entered the Department in 1945.

V000926

�s.15(1) - Defence

8.
Until July, 194© Mr, Glaaebrook and 1 were
concerned with intelligence and security, the latter
Including all security questions relating to the Department
in Ottawa and Its Missions abroad, as well as matters of
interest to us in the field of counter-espionage. From
July, 1946 until August, 1947 I functioned without assistance
on those matters in the Department, with the exception that
the Chairmanship of J.I.C, was held first by Mr. RIddell, then
by Mr. Johnson and, finally, by myself since October, 1948,
As both Mr. Riddell and Mr. Johnson were mainly engaged in
the work of their respective Divisions, they were unable to
devote much time to the formulation and direction of general
Intelligence policy.
9.
In August, 1947 Mr. Teakles was appointed as
th© Joint Intelligence Staff member for the Department. This
did littl© to relieve th© pressure of work as he was engaged
almost full time on th© work of th© J.I.S. In June, 1948, Mr.
George was added to the Intelligence Section of the Department.
The appointment did little, however, to relieve the pressure
of work as I spent the summer of 1948 in tha United Kingdom
and Europe and shortly after my return the Defence Liaison
Division was formed. While I have been able since then to
devote a certain amount of time to policy questions dealing
with Intelligence, the pressure of work on the Intelligence
Section as such has been altered littl© by the addition of
Mr. George.
10.
As a result, we have had little time to deal
with anything but policy questions in the Department and,
Branch of the R.C.M.P., the staff is totally Inadequate to
ensure that it is used to full advantage in the Department.
11.
W© should also bear In mind that N«#.C. and
D.R.B., largely at our instigation and in our interests,
have spent several million dollars on signals intelligence.
In addition, th© Services and the R.C.M.P. have spent
considerable sums In expanding their intelligence branches.
I think, therefore. It Is time that the Department started
to reap the benefit from the government Investment, quite
apart from discharging our responsibilities for policy and
coordination with respect to the J.I.C. and signals intelligence •

Problems
13.
As you know, the ^apartment has never favoured
the formation of a secret service in the sense of forming a
section of th© Department, or a separate service* to undertake espionage operations abroad. On the other hand, w e have
always been anxious to do what w© could within the limits of
the Departmental organisation to assist intelligence operations, so long as w® did not become involved in espionage
as such. Thus, for example, we have been prepared to instruct
certain of our JSuropean Missions to handle Soviet defectors,
who may present themselves at our Legations or Embassies.
The scheme has been worked out in consultation with
and apart from the initial contact with our Missions, defectors
are handed over to
Tor subsequent interrogation and
possible use as
W© have also agreed to accept
as immigrants a few defectors each year.
More recently, we have agreed for planning purposes
that certain sections of
might be evacuated to Canada
In the event of an emergency.
14.
On the other hand, w© have always stopped
short of more extensive assistance in the form of permitting
our Missions abroad to act as
officers.
15.
In return for what might be called our
administrative assistance,
has been prepared to send
us a good deal of political intelllgenoe from eecret sources,
some of which is extremely valuable, e.g»,
a Soviet defector who was evacuated
through our Mission in Berlin.
16.
In order to continue our liaison with
©van on th© present limited basis, w© require officers who
understand something of th© techniques of espionage, as well
as those who are capable of evaluating th© political intelligence w® receive from
sources* In addition, we must
provide staff to evaluate signals intelligence» 1© should,
therefore, build up in Ottawa an intelllgenoe section capable
of dealing with these aspects of th© same problem. As In the
signals Intelligence field, the extent t© which
will
cooperate with us depends on th© degree of confidence they
have In the departmental officers, with whom they deal. The
cooperation we have at the present time with both
and
has flowed frora personal contact with their officers
and does not arise from any prior agreement or discussion
with the C.R.O. or Foreign Office, although no doubt the
cooperation between
agencies and ourselves tes&amp;fJtfr
thelr general blessing. We do not, however, normally discuss
our intelligence arrangements with
through d iplomatic channels, Our arrangements with
agencies
have been treated similarly.
Counter-espionage and
generally

intelligence

17.
Our requirements in this field overlap with
those I have considered under th© heading of
problems.
As long ago as September, 1947, Mr* Pearson agreed that w©
required an officer in the Department who would concern
himself with keeping abreast of general development® In th©
counter-espionage field. While the Special Branch, R.C.M.P,
y~~^
{ /000928

�s.15(1) - Defence
s.15(1) -Security

- 5 -

is responsible for case work and following developments
generally, we found a serious gap in our organisation when
the
case broke. As you know, we had to draw on the
services of Mr, Dwyer, and In the early stages 1 gather
we leaned pretty heavily on
advice.
Had we employed such an officer at that time, he could have
given political advice on the conduct of the case, advice
which an officer of the Department cannot normally give
without a thorough understanding of the techniques of
espionage and counter-espionage*
18.
The undertaking of such work 'in the Department
would not overlap with the police, but would materially assist
them, by ensuring that they receive from the Department sueh
political Information as they require in the course of their
work. If, for example, we finally establish
the product "will need to be read in th©
Department, and the appropriate f©ed»baok of polltloal information given to thei Special Branch. There are, of course,
other problems in which close liaison with the R.G.l.P. Is
required, a liaison which ean only be developed satisfactorily
if w© have officers in the Department conversant with
espionage and c"ounter«*espionage problems.
19.
In addition, knowledge In these matters Is
valuable In screening our own employees in the Department,
in dealing with s ©curity apseote of visa cases, policy respecting the screening of immigrants abroad, censorship,
the study of Communist parties, and general security ques-tions of an inter^departmental nature arising from our membership on the Security Panel. It Is also Important for the
Department to have available an experienced officer to t ak@
part in security policy discussions with other governments.
In this connection you will recall the part taken by the
Department In th© Commonwealth Security Conference, which
was held in London last October during the Prime Ministers'
Conference,
20.
Since %*. Pearson's original agreement to the
above requirements, we have not h@en able to find the right
man for th© job. As an alternative It was suggested that
an F.S.O. should be trained in
over a period of a year, so that he wOuld gain the
necessary experience in case work. Mothlng, however, has
been done about it.
21.
There »iay coiae a time, when we have met the
requirements I have outlined above, when consideration should
b© given to undertaking, probably in cooperation with
some limited form of intelligence operations abroad. ®e are,
however, still at the training stage, which should be completed for th© reasons I have already outlined, before w©
consider any more ambitious scheme. At the same time w©
should bear In mind that w© should be In a very bad way
indeed, should an emergency arise, and find that w© have no
officers trained in intelligence, at a time when demands
would Inevitably b@ made on us.
22.
The collation and dissemination of material
from secret sources could b© dealt with in one of two ways
in tho DepartmentJ
... * 6

(AY

�s.15(1) - Defence

"* 6 "
(a) We might follow the Foreign Of fie© system of
disseminating all material received by th© Intelligence Section to th© geographical desks. Under
this system no collation would be done centrally.
On th© other hand, w 1th th© rapid movement of
personnel from on© Division to another, I could
not recommend such a system, as the security risks
would b© too great.
(b) We might follow th© State Department system of
collating intelllgenoe from secret sources
centrally a s in the Office of Research and
Inteliigenee. For security reasons,. I would
favour this system. While It means that the
' Intelligence Section will have to keep Informed
of general developments in order to collate information from secret sources adequately, staff trained
in interpreting th© material Is essential at this
stage of th© development of our departmental organization. In addition, th© system permits us
to assure
and other sources that the material
receives a v&amp;rj limited circulation, an important
point in our relations with intelllgenoe organizations in
23.
There is an additional problem, which is now
of some Importance, and which is concerned with political
intelligence from mm- secret sources for us© in J.I.C. appreciations and for day-to-day business with the other intelligence directorates. Any factual or historical data is
normally supplied by th© Foreign Office Research Department
in th© U.K., and by th© Offie0 of Research and Intelligence
in the U.S. Both these organizations are staffed fey noncareer officials. We have no equivalent of these organizations, and my recommendations for the staffing of our
Intelligence Section only provide for dealing with secret
source material, as well as making available officers with
expert knowledge in the secret inteliigenee fields. This
means that there is a serious gap In the departmental
organisation sine© the Divisions are not ©quipped to do
research work, either for political Intelligence or for
eneral d epartmental purposes. There is, I believe, a good
eal to be said against setting up a special research division
of the Department, although this problem Is only Indirectly
connected with Inteliigenee problems. On the other hand,
if no such organisation is ever to 'be set up, w© shall
require th© geographical divisions to organise themselves
on different lines If they ar© to keep pac® with the growth
and increasing us© of the J.I.C. The Divisions are now
primarily concerned, and only ©quipped to deal, with day-today problems. If one requires a review, say, of Soviet
policy for the past two years, they neither have th© staff,
nor are their records so organized, as to be able to produce
such studies quickly. Squally, it is difficult to obtain
rapidly information on Important political personalities,
due mainly, I think, to the limited way In which their records
ar© organised,

f

24.
This problem arises, not only In th© Intelligence field, but also in respect to supplying material for
purposes of political propaganda. In the latter case, I
think it would be folly to permit special records to be built
up for this limited purpose only, without regard to the
intelllgenoe and research needs of th© Department. I do
not wish to make any specific recommendations here, which
•

© • •

i

S7 ^000930

�s.15(1) - Defence

- 7 -

would lead m© to th© examination of a problem relating to
the organization of th© Department as a whole.. I do
recommend, however, that an officer be appointed to examine
th© problem before w© reach th© stage of being faced with
it In an acute form. In this regard, I understand Mr.
Rogers has already submitted a memorandum dealing with the
problem from th© point of view of psychological warfare.
His study should be related to the overall requirements
of the Department.
25.

arrangements for security measures In the
Department and at our Mission© abroad

You may recall that I was originally brought
Into the Department as a security officer mainly with a
view to tightening up security both In the' Department In
Ottawa and at our Missions abroad. A great deal of work
remains to be done in-this field, although w e have made
som© progress in supplying adequate safes*, arranging for
tests for listening devices in our vulnerable missions abroad,
and in the appointment of a limited number of R.C.M.P. for
security duties to our missions In Europe. Despite this
limited progress, security arrangements, both in Ottawa
and at a large nxmiber of our Missions abroad, ar© seriously
inadequate. Owing to pressure of work In other fields, I
have not yet submitted my report on the state of security
at our Missions behind the Iron Curtain following my tour
last summer. Whan you receive it, I think you will agree
that w© have not :tac.kl«d th© heart of th® problem, but have
only taken a series of half-measures, which will be satisfactory only if w© ar© lucky. Th© difficulty in this field
is that you never know whether you hav© been lucky or not*
We shall soon have to. fae® up to th© costs of security or
accept th© risks, a course I could nob recommend If w© wish
to retain the full confidence of our
colleagues,
from whom so much of our political intelligence comas.
26.
Much of the work involved is of a semi-technical
character. We need the best advice on the types of safes,
locks, burglar alarms, etc* which w© should use. We need
advice on the risks Involved in telephone systems, microphones,
etc. Th© R.C.M.P. hav© been of great assistance to us, but w©
must supply our own officers to supervise and carry out th©
measures w© decide to adopt. To supervise security measures
1-n the Department and at Missions abroad i» now a full time
job for at least on© officer, which cannot b© done adequately
by an F.S.O. working part time. The introductionand enforcement of the proposed new security measures in Ottawa alone
should b© th© responsibility of one officer, who can go about
the.building checking on how the system works.
27.
I do not think that the security officer need
b© an F.S.O. II© could b© equally well an Administrative
Officer, 1 am not sur© whether he should be attached to th©
Defence Liaison Division, but be would in any eese have to
take broad policy direction from it, as the Division contains
th© officers dealing; with security intelllganee.
28.

Implementation of recommendations concerning
departmental organization

I attach a copy of the original chart for
the establishment of the Defence Liaison Division, which
sets out th© requirements inter alia for the Intelligence
Section. Mr. MacKay will be submitting separately to Mr.

(j[JJ,y000931

�s.15(1) - Defence

aMoran a revised chart dealing with th© establishment of
th© Division as a whole. You will note that this provided
for an Assistant Head of Division who would be Chairman of
th© Communications Research Committee and the representative
of th© Department on the Security Panel. In view of the
requirements I have already outlined to conduct the work of
the J.I.C. and the Communications Research Gommittee, I think
it Is essential to appoint without delay an Assistant *i©ad
of Division to be responsible for all intelllgenoe matters.
Should the Head of Division b© absent, I can see no objection
to the Assistant acting as Head of Division so long as such
periods ar© not prolonged. I suggest that h© should b© not
lowar than F.S.Q. Or ad© 3 and preferably F.S.O. Grade 4.
29.
While I reoognia© that a degree of permanency
is necessary for th© Chairmanship of the Communi oat Ions
Research Committee, I-think a four-year term for the Chairman
is sufficient to supply tha necessary continuity as the advice
and experience of the Director of the Communications Branch
will always b© available.
30.
I would recommend that the Hoad of Division
should retain the Chairmanship of the J.I.C, mainly because
it is Important to keep the work of that Committee In step
with related defeno© problems with which th© Hoad of Division
will normally deal. So far as continuity In tho Chairmanship
of J.I.G. is concerned, there is some merit In having a change
in Chairmanship ©very three or four years In order to ensure
th© Introduction of new ideas into th© work and direction of
the Committee, I'h© changeover in the Chairmanship of J.I.C.
is easier than that of th© C.R.C. sine© Its work is more
.closely related to the everyday work of th© Department.
31.
I have gone over the names of possible Assistant Heads of Division who might in my view conduct our
Intelligence responsibilities adequately. I have tried to
bear in mind that it is not every officer in the Department
who would have the appropriate mental approach to w ork of
this kind and that however Intelligent an officer may be In
other respects, h© may be totally Inadequate for this type
of work, I am putting forward th© following names In my
own order of preference:
Mr. Ralph. Collins
Mr. J. it, Starnes
Mr, George Kidd
32.
As you know, Mr, .Collins has done a certain
amount of 31glnt work already ash© was associated with Mr.
In addition, I think he is th© type
of person who would gain th© confidence of the Senior
Committee.
33.
While Mr. Starnes is perhaps young, he has
the right typs of mental approach to intelllgenoe'work and
saw a good deal of the policy questions at the time he was
working directly for Mr. Pearson.
34.
While Mr, &amp;ldd has, I think, little experience
in this field, I believe he is th© type of person who would
learn quickly and gain th© confidence of those with whom he
Is acquired to work,
35.
1 have for the moment selected these names
without regard to their availability*
• •»»y

36.
So far as the Intelligence Section itself Is
concerned, I would recommend that only three officers, in
addition to ths Assistant head of Division (.Intelligence),
are for th© moment required. These are as shown on th©
original chart, I would recommend that the officer in charge
of countor-espionage work should b© not less than an F.3,0.3.
For th© other two posts, J'VS.O.'s a or 3 would be adequate.
Ho officer who has not been In the Department some time should
be posted to this typs of work*
37.
For the present I would recommend that Mr.
Teakles, tha present J.I.S. member, should be switched with
Mr. Goorge and that Mr. Louis Rogers, on joining- the Division,
should work with Mr. Teakles on th© collation of Intelligence
for the us© of- the Department. 1 doubt, however, whether Mr,
Rogers has either th© Interest or th© right type of approach
for this type of work and unless the decision to post him to
the Division Is irrevocable, I think consideration might be
given to the posting of another officer in his place, Hon©
of the other officers in the Division, with the possible
exception of Mr. Tow©, who Is employed on other Important
duties, would be suitable. Mo special training In Intelligence is required for the Departmental member of J.I.S.
3.8,
As a long-term project, I would recommend,
however,, that we undertake as soon as possible th© training
of two officers' to deal with what I have called :
problems and counter-espionage. I have com© to the conclusion that it Is © I ther difficult or Impossible to train
In the Department officers for this work unless they have
had some previous experience. The only alternative, therefore, is to undertake a programme of training.
has
offered us vacancies on their short courses and I would
recommend that two officers be sent to the next course.
whenever it begin®. I under stand that they last for two
or three months. On their return they would then be in a
position to r ©Hev© the officers in the Inteliigenee Section
when they ar© due for their next postings.
33.
A» a longer term project, two officers should
b© selected now for training lasting approximately a year in
both
and with tha Special Branch
of the R.C.M.P. If they were sent to
at the beginning
of the year we would then have mors carefully and more fully
trained officers who oould take th© places of those who had
only taken th© short course. One of the latter might also
.receive som© extra training with a view to taking over In •
du© course as Assistant Head of th© Division.

40.
The following ar© a number of officers who,
it seems to m©, might be usefully trained for Intelligence
xvork In the Department, either on th© short courses I hav®
suggested or on the longer term project.

While both Mr. T@akles and Mr, George would be excellent
candidates for further work In intelligence, I have assumed
that they would not be available for such an extended period.
41.
I have also recommended the appointment of
an Administrative Officer In tha Department as Security
Officer. Unless this Is don© outside of the proposed establishment for th© Defono© Liaison Division, an additional
officer should ba added to th© chart. I have two possibilities in mind for such an officer. You might consider
the appointment of Corporal Vaucher, who Is in charge of
security in the Paris Embassy, for the appointment, providing
the R.C.M.P. concur. Corporal Vaucher has done an excellent
job In Paris and would certainly deal admirably with physical
security problems both In our Missions abroad and in Ottawa.
Alternatively, if w© are seeking an officer already In the
Department, * would be Inclined to recommend Mr. Lavlgne, who
is at present responsible for security matters in Washington,
as well as conducting his normal consular duties. On the
whola I would favour my first suggestion.
42.
I have one other somewhat novel recommendation
to make In order to strengthen indirectly the Intelligence
Section. You may recall that shortly after the
case Mr, Dwyer, th©
representative in
discussed with Mr. Robertson the possibility of his employment in the Department. While I understand that. Mr. Robertson
was favourable to such a scheme, there was at that time no
way administratively of employing as a Foreign Service
Officer a British Officer who had not completed the required
period of residence In Canada. On his last visit to Canada
Mr, Dwyer again raised the possibility of his working for
the Canadian Government. In discussing th® matter with Mr.
Glazebrook we reached th© tentative conclusion that Mr. Dwyer
might be Initially employed in the Communications Branch as
th© Head of th© Reporting Section. This Section, as you know,
deals with the collation of the intelligence product from
Signals intelligence sources and, while it lias don© good work
on a limited basis, w© have never yet found the right man to
head the Section, Mr. Drake would be quite agreeable to the
appointment of Mr. Dwyer to this position.
43.
in making such an appointment, Mr. Glaaebrook
and I have in mind that Mr. Dwyer could at th© same time be •
an adviser to this Department on espionage and counterespionage generally from a political point of vlow. in due
course w© had In mind that it might be possible to appoint
Mr. Dwyer In some capacity to th© Department or perhaps hold
him on th© strength of the Communications Branch while
actually working here. Both of us feel that we should not
miss an opportunity of employing on© of the ablest officers
in this field, particularly as It would take a long time to
train an officer up to Mr. Dwyer's level of intelligence
knowledge and experience. If we are to adopt this scheme
w© would, of course, have to clear the matter with Dr.
Mackenzie and with the R.O.M.P, I think you will agree that
Mr, Dwyer would fill th© position of an expert In counterespionage which w© have wanted to fill for a long time.
