Memo from the Assistant Controller, Overseas Services

In this memo, RA Rendall addresses concerns that the Indian government might object to broadcasts by George Orwell, a man whose books they have banned. A handwritten amendment by LF Rushbrook Williams recommends keeping silent on the matter, rather than actually raising the issue with the government of India.

Unfortunately, it was discovered that the target audience of Indian students at whom Orwell's broadcasts were aimed did not in the main possess radio sets. Even those lucky enough to be able to tune in would have found the signal so weak as to render the broadcasts virtually unintelligible.
