aroused his enthusiasm but his comments did not seem to me to be brilliant. On the other
hand, when we talked other subjects, such as economic needs,
he showed very little interest but seemed adequately intelligent about them. He speaks a little
limping French and, so far, as I know, no other foreign language. He seems outstanding,
even among the Partisans, for his obvious zeal for the cause
and is quite probably one of their most loyal and most useful
officers. He works all hours of the day or night, takes care
of all of the routine liaison with the various mission repre-
sentatives at Tito's headquarters, and seems to have a pretty detailed knowledge, as indeed he
should have, of' Partisan military affairs.
