                     November 10, 1944.                     
 
                         My dear Winston,                   
 
      I realize that it is very trying for many people that we should 
      continue to prevent information from looking out about anti-submarine 
      methods; but our own submarine campaign in the Pacific is playing 
      such an important role that the Barbarian will seize desperately 
      upon any information that will help him in anti-submarine measures. 
      I do hope, therefore, that we may continue to do all that we 
      can to keep anyone from talking too much. I have no doubt that 
      indiscretions are committed in our press but the enclosed has 
           recently appeared under a London date-line.      
 
      I will do what I can to keep the lid on here and I know I may 
                count on you for similar measures.          
 
                         Cordially yours,                   
 
                                                            
 
 
                          "F.D.R."                          
 
                                                            
 
 
          The Rt. Honorable Winston S. Churchill,           
 
               The Prime Minister of Great Britain,
