     The first thing we need is enough allied officers of the
 
right sort at the right places within the country. The next
 
thing we need is proper briefing of such officers before they
 
go into the country and proper supervision of their actions
 
after they go into the country. Finally, we need proper forms
 
and channels of reporting after such officers under such
 
direction obtain the needed information. (It is to be assumed that the logical constructive action 
 
indicated by such reporting will then be forth-coming.) It must in addition be constantly
 
borne in mind that the Partisans up to and including Tito are
 
realists and horse-traders who will give us what we want, in
 
information and help, in fairly equal proportion to their getting
 
what they want in the only three categories which interest them:
 
(1) Material help, (2) Diplomatic lines of communication (not necessarily recognition, and (5) 
 
Political encouragement. In my judgment that is the formula. If we give the partisans at least 
 
something of what they want under those three headings, and if we simultaneously, organize          
 
ourselves to take advantage
